President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo announced that, as of October 15, a total of 26,311 homes have been surveyed across 58 municipalities in five states, as part of the Federal Government’s response to severe damage caused by recent rains and flooding. The majority of affected homes are located in Veracruz (17,120), followed by Puebla, San Luis Potosí, Hidalgo, and Querétaro.
During her morning conference, “Las Mañaneras del Pueblo,” Sheinbaum praised the dedication of federal civil servants conducting the Wellbeing Census, who are reaching even the most remote areas inaccessible by vehicle. “What the Wellbeing staff are doing is heroic,” she stated, noting that 15 operational camps have been established to facilitate the field deployment.
The camps are strategically located in Poza Rica, Tantoyuca, and Parque Tajín in Veracruz; Huejutla, Zimapán, Tulancingo, and Chapulhuacán in Hidalgo; Huauchinango, Teziutlán, Zacatlán, and Chignahuapan in Puebla; Peñamiller in Querétaro; and Ciudad Valles and Matlapa in San Luis Potosí. From these centers, officials coordinate data collection to identify families requiring immediate assistance.
Ariadna Montiel Reyes, Secretary of Welfare, explained from Poza Rica that the census is being conducted in 13 municipalities of Veracruz, 17 of Hidalgo, 15 of Puebla, 7 of Querétaro, and 6 of San Luis Potosí. The collected data will guide reconstruction efforts and the direct distribution of aid to affected households.
The Government of Mexico continues its comprehensive assistance deployment in the disaster zones, emphasizing solidarity, territorial coordination, and institutional response. Authorities reaffirmed their commitment to accompanying affected communities until daily life is fully restored in the impacted regions.
