The president stated that the amounts of support for affected families will depend on the degree of damage that their home has suffered.

“If the house was completely lost then the support will be greater, if they had minor damage then it will be less,” he said when visiting the El Carrizal temporary shelter together with the governor of Puebla, Alejandro Armenta and the coordinator of Government Affairs, Leticia Ramírez Amaya.

Likewise, it was reported that the distribution of groceries will continue and household goods that families have lost due to the heavy rains will be delivered, such as stoves, refrigerators and mattresses.

Workers from the Welfare Secretariat are working in the affected areas to carry out a census of damage to homes.

2,179 elements of the Army, Air Force and National Guard were deployed in Puebla to execute the DN-III-E emergency Plan.

“There are four aircraft, eight units of heavy machinery, five dumpers, a water treatment plant, a mobile kitchen and a military hospital, in addition to air and river means that have allowed access to isolated communities.

“Attention has been strengthened in municipalities such as Huauchinango, Xicotepec, Francisco Z. Mena and Tlacuilotepec, where the rains caused damage to homes, roads and basic services,” the Ministry of Defense reported in a statement.
