Jazmín Stengel (Chapala).- Chapala is preparing for the rainy season by clearing streams and riverbeds in the municipality to prevent flooding. Up to 32 risk points have been identified in the municipality, where rains could cause flooding.
The work focused in the Ajijic area is near the La Canacinta neighborhood because of the mudslides that occurred in October of last year.
Other places where work has been completed or is underway are the San Marcos stream in the municipal capital, the Grande stream in the San Antonio Tlayacapan delegation next to the golf club and the one in the Las Guerras neighborhood, in Atotonilquillo.
Emergency Services in Chapala are prepared to deal with complications from rainfall of 30 to 70 millimeters, according to general statistics on which the Fire Department and Civil Protection are based. However, the rainfall on October 5 reached 120 millimeters near La Canacinta.
