BANDAR RAYA MEXICO – Lebih 300 penduduk di bahagian tengah dan timur Mexico terputus hubungan akibat tanah runtuh dan banjir membawa maut yang berlaku semalam, lapor saluran berita CNN.
Ribuan anggota tentera dan pekerja awam bergegas membuka semula jalan yang terhalang akibat kejadian tersebut.
Kerajaan mengesahkan bahawa sekurang-kurangnya 64 orang terkorban akibat hujan lebat yang berterusan.
Puluhan lagi masih hilang dan pegawai memberi amaran bahawa tahap sebenar kemusnahan di bandar-bandar terpencil yang mempunyai antara 500 hingga 1,000 penduduk masih belum diketahui.
Hujan lebat itu dicetuskan oleh pertembungan dua ribut tropika yang melanda pesisir barat Mexico dan berlaku pada penghujung musim hujan yang luar biasa kuat, menyebabkan sungai melimpah serta cerun tanah menjadi lemah.
“Membuka semula jalan merupakan antara keutamaan terbesar kami. Kita perlu memastikan laluan udara, bekalan makanan dan air serta memeriksa keadaan setiap penduduk,” kata Presiden Claudia Sheinbaum.
Negeri yang paling teruk terjejas adalah Veracruz, Hidalgo dan Puebla.
Kira-kira separuh daripada kampung terputus hubungan di Hidalgo yang mengandungi sekitar 100,000 rumah rosak atau musnah akibat limpahan sungai dan tanah runtuh.
Sementara itu, di Veracruz yang menyaksikan sekurang-kurangnya 29 orang terkorban, jumlah taburan hujan mencecah kira-kira 61 sentimeter hanya dalam tempoh empat hari.
Gabenor Veracruz, Rocio Nahle berkata, lebih 300,000 orang terjejas di negeri itu sahaja. – AGENSI

KUALA TERENGGANU: Chalet and resort operators along the Terengganu coast and islands must display safety videos highlighting sea dangers during the upcoming Northeast Monsoon.
State Tourism, Culture, Environment and Climate Change Committee chairman Datuk Razali Idris said the initiative aims to raise awareness and promote visitor safety.
“All chalet and resort operators have been instructed to display short videos warning about the dangers of swimming in the sea during the monsoon season,“ he told Bernama.
Razali noted that these videos are already available and credited last year’s safety measures with preventing fatalities.
“Alhamdulillah, we recorded zero fatalities last year, no deaths at all,“ he said. “We hope the operators will truly take safety measures seriously, and the same goes for visitors.”
The state government has not issued any official directive to close islands during the monsoon season.
Several large chalets and resorts on Redang Island and Perhentian Island remain open during the season due to tourist demand.
Razali explained that while the monsoon season lasts from November to February or March, it does not rain continuously.
“There are three or four times a month when boats can still enter,“ he said.
He emphasised that operators must make final decisions based on safety conditions.
“If the waves are rough, boats are not permitted to set sail,“ Razali stated.
“Safety measures, such as wearing life jackets, are extremely important and mandatory.” – Bernama
