The Civil Protection Office of the La Paz city government handled 530 citizen reports during June, July and August 2026, amid the rain and hurricane season. According to the city government, most calls involved fallen telephone poles, damaged electrical wiring and Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) poles.

Areas served include the Rinconada Las Californias neighborhood and the intersection of Naranjos and Arboledas streets, where crews removed debris, cleaned channels, and carried out ditching and mud-scraping work. The agency also stepped up patrols along arroyo channels and risk zones.

"Se mantendrá vigilante con recorridos de supervisión, atención de reportes y acciones preventivas" ("It will remain vigilant with supervision patrols, attention to reports and preventive actions"), said Francisco Cervantes Navarro, head of Civil Protection in La Paz.

The municipal authority recommended that residents prune trees near their homes in advance, remove branches that could break off in the wind and, above all, avoid approaching or handling fallen poles or power lines, which pose a shock hazard.

Practical guidance for reporting: for a damaged CFE pole or cable, the commission's line is 071; for life-threatening emergencies, 911 operates 24 hours. It helps to have these numbers on hand before a storm arrives, when lines tend to get saturated. Clearing channels in advance aims to reduce the risk that arroyos, dry most of the year, wash down trash and branches that block the flow of water during heavy rain.
