According to the forecast, the passage of the tropical storm off the coast of Guerrero will favor the potential for torrential rains in several areas of the state, as well as strong gusts of wind and high waves along the entire coastal strip.
The Secretary of Comprehensive Risk Management and Civil Protection, Roberto Arroyo Matus, said that the mandate of Governor Evelyn Salgado Pineda is to take extreme preventive work, warning and monitoring.
Guerrero authorities shared recommendations for residents in the last few hours, including having water and food on hand to protect themselves.
Salgado showed on networks the clearing work in Ixtapa, to prevent flooding as in the municipalities already affected.
