Civil Protection is working to prevent flooding, because heavy rains may occur in the next few days, caused by the low pressure system approaching the Yucatan peninsula. They were assisted by personnel with the Departments of Public Service and the Department of Public Lighting. Their work also included removing loose or weak panels from the roofs of the sports domes. Residents are encouraged to remove items where rain can gather and breed mosquitoes and to removed items from their roof that could blow off and become projectiles. Residents are also reminded to comply with the trash collection schedule and to avoid litter in the streets, because trash and litter obstructing the storm drains or their grates is the main cause of flooding. Trash is collected 8p-10p.
From Por Esto :
Port open: Little movement
Puerto abierto, poco movimiento
Oct. 2 On Tuesday, small boats were restricted port, except for the areas of el Farito and the Lagoon, due to strong winds. On Wednesday at 7am, the port was once again open for general navigation since the intensity of the wind had decreased. Trips to Contoy Island and other nautical activities resumed.There is no sargasso on North Beach, where there are few visitors due to low season. On Tuesday, some sargasso was seen at el Riito beach, brought by the northeast winds, and was promptly removed by the cleaning crew.
Isla Mujeres will participate in the National Pueblos Magicos Fair

Isla Mujeres news briefs
BREVES DE ISLA MUJERES
The president of the state DIF agency attended a "Pink Breakfast", as did members of the Isla Mujeres DIF, raising awareness about breast cancer. These social service agencies support senior citizens and the most vulnerable members of the community.The other brief is about free mammograms being available to women, which are routinely done on women over 40, while women over 20 may go to the hospital for a clinical examination, and when appropriate, they will referred for a mammogram or ultrasound. The testing takes place at the Uneme-Dedicam (in Cancun).
Trash blocking storm drains causes flooding
Inundaciones son por la basura
The head of Civil Protection said that fifty percent of the flooding of the streets is caused by litter, especially plastics, that clog the storm drains and their grates. His department has been conducting intense cleaning brigades in recent days due to the possibility of heavy rains in the upcoming days, which are expected from a low pressure system that is due to arrive to the Yucatan Peninsula on Thursday.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
