Landslides are biggest concern in Jalisco with the passing of ‘Dolores’

As Tropical Storm Dolores passes through Jalisco, which made landfall this morning causing rains in various municipalities of Jalisco, the State Government, through the State Civil Protection Unit, has deployed 100 officers who are conducting surveillance tours along the coast, including in Puerto Vallarta.

Authorities report that rainfall so far has been light to moderate in most of Jalisco, including the Costa region. Therefore, in terms of affectations, only minor landslides have been reported. Very little rain has been observed in the Municipality of Puerto Vallarta, but plenty of dark skies have covered the city.

Jalisco Civil Protection elements, together with the municipal units, are conducting visits in communities that could be most at risk by the effects of the storm.

The prevention works are carried out in coordination with federal agencies such as the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena), the National Water Commission (Conagua), and the National Guard.

The authorities ask the population to stay informed through their official channels, and in case of an emergency dial 911 .
