The potential impacts would be concentrated in various regions of the state of Puebla, including Atlixco, Angelópolis, the Mixteca region, and Tehuacán, and could also reach areas of the state of Oaxaca.
Civil Protection authorities reported that if emissions occur from the Popocatépetl volcano in the coming hours, the ash could drift northeast, east, and southeast, due to current wind conditions.
According to the forecast, the potential impacts would be concentrated in various regions of the state of Puebla, including Atlixco, Angelópolis, the Mixteca region, and Tehuacán, and could also reach areas of the state of Oaxaca.
The dispersion model indicates that the trajectory will depend on the height of the eruption and the wind intensity, so the volcano is being constantly monitored.
Authorities urged the public to stay tuned to official announcements and take preventive measures, such as covering water tanks, wearing face masks in case of ashfall, and avoiding outdoor activities if emissions occur.
