#Atizapán, #Edoméx.- In order to comply with the instructions of the Municipal President of Atizapán de Zaragoza, Pedro Rodríguez Villegas, to safeguard the safety of the inhabitants of the Municipality, the Municipal Coordination of Civil Protection, Fire and Environment maintains in operation an advanced monitoring center for hydrometeorological phenomena.
Through the Department of Atlas and Integral Risk Management, attached to the Coordination of Civil Protection, Firefighters and Environment, the operation of this center processes data in real time to facilitate the identification of meteorological events that could affect the municipal territory with an anticipation time of 15 to 30 minutes.
Although atmospheric and topographic factors may cause the phenomena to degrade or increase their intensity, the time of anticipation of these events serves to mount a preventive operation in each of the points where there is a significant level of vulnerability to flooding.
Javier Torres Correa, head of the Department of Atlas and Integral Risk Management, emphasized that both the Municipal President, Pedro Rodriguez, and the Municipal Coordinator of Civil Protection, Fire and Environment, Hector Elorriaga, are always aware of providing tools that can help to maintain the protection of citizens.
“The main objective of this Center, which has been improved by both Mayor Pedro Rodriguez and Coordinator Hector Elorriaga, is to provide accurate and timely information that allows for correct decision making in the face of events with the potential to affect the municipality. This system contributes to the protection of the population and local infrastructure,” said Torres Correa.
This monitoring system has its own weather station that collects data and creates a statistical history, which is essential to understand weather patterns and anticipate possible risks. It also includes a data backup system, ensuring the continuity of monitoring even in the event of interruptions that may occur, such as power outages.
