Following Hurricane Priscila, 30 incidents were reported on roads in the Sierra Gorda in Querétaro, however, 27 have already been partially reopened, according to Jesús Esteva, Secretary of Infrastructure.
During the morning press conference, Esteva reported on the damage to roads caused by landslides. According to the Federal Government report, in Querétaro, four municipalities were affected by this, and 18 communities remain cut off.
“Now we will be supporting, not only the federal government, but also municipal roads and the repair of a damaged bridge,” he reported.

Although 27 roads have been partially reopened, seven remain closed. President Claudia Sheinbaum acknowledged that the main impact in the state has been on roads.
“The idea is that some censuses will be completed this week, while others will take longer, especially in isolated communities,” he added.
Likewise, the health authorities’ strategy to prevent dengue outbreaks in the areas hit by Hurricane Priscila was also announced. Dengue is a disease transmitted by mosquito bites, which thrive in tropical and subtropical areas where water levels are stagnant.
In Querétaro, prevention actions are being carried out in the Huasteca region, in the municipalities of Peñamiller and Jalpan de Serra.
