He stressed that for the months of May and June there is a rain map for the Chiapas Coast, while the cold fronts cause a lot of rain in the northern area bordering Tabasco, but the most vulnerable area is the Soconusco and Istmo-Costa, where preparedness and prevention actions are intensified.

He commented that various municipalities in Chiapas have already been urged to clear rivers, ditches, streams, clean river banks, collect garbage and material that may impede the flow of water to prevent floods, the call is that we review our public, private, and family facilities, it is about being very preventive before the forecast of a rainy season.

All the municipalities of the entity have to do an extraordinary job in the collection of solid waste to prevent it from flowing into the tributaries or generating floods due to clogging of sewers, drains or storm drains, prevention must be very intense and with great coordination with society, he pointed out.

For the Atlantic Ocean, which corresponds from June 1 to November 30, 18 cyclonic events are expected.
