According to Civil Protection censuses, more than 300 families live in risk zones; the first rains of the season have already been registered.

With the beginning of the rainy season in Puerto Vallarta, more than 1,500 people, from more than 300 families, will have to be permanently attentive to the indications of Civil Protection, since they live in risk zones.

The head of the agency, Gerardo Castillon, pointed out that all these families have been visited to ask them to be cautious, since the places where they live represent a danger due to floods or landslides, as the case may be.

In total, of the more than 300 neighborhoods in the city, 15 have risky areas, so Civil Protection must attend to the families that require it, in some of the multiple shelters that, although they are not permanently active, they are easily set up.

Last week the first rain of the season was recorded and, according to forecasts, it will be a year with a lot of hydro-meteorological activity in the Pacific.
