PUERTO VALLARTA (PVDN) – As a strengthening tropical cyclone takes a path parallel to the coastlines of Guerrero, Michoacán, Colima, Jalisco, and Nayarit, the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) is taking extensive precautions to minimize potential disruptions to the power supply.
The CFE’s specific emergency response plans are designed to ensure prompt decision-making when electricity services are affected by natural phenomena such as tropical cyclones and earthquakes. The current situation sees the tropical cyclone intensify into a hurricane, as reported by the National Meteorological System, prompting the CFE to activate its strategic emergency procedures.
Resources have been mobilized across the five states on the hurricane’s trajectory. This includes 901 electrical workers, 123 cranes, 375 vehicles, 47 emergency power plants, 16 lighting towers, and a helicopter, all strategically positioned to respond swiftly to any power disturbances.
The CFE’s actions are aligned with its “Manual of Technical Procedures for Disaster Response”. The proactive measures undertaken currently include:
- Continuous monitoring of the meteorological phenomenon
- Identification of probable impact areas
- Establishment of Strategic Operation Centers at key points across the country for timely decision-making
- Prioritization of essential service users, such as hospitals, shelters, gas stations, pumping systems, communication antennas, transport services, etc., for rapid attention
The CFE is working in close collaboration with the National Civil Protection System, the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of the Navy, the National Water Commission, the Ministry of Health, Civil Protection, as well as state and municipal governments, to handle any contingencies.
By preparing to quickly and efficiently manage power disruptions, the CFE aims to minimize the impact of the hurricane on affected communities and ensure continuity of essential services during this challenging period. Further updates will be issued as the situation develops.
