In Jalisco, more than 40 thousand children from 588 schools, located in the south and north coast, the most affected entity due to the passage of the Tropical Storm "Manuel", don't have classes as most of them register floodings, loss of furniture or became inaccessible because the access roads are torn, underscores the State Education Secretary, Francisco Lopez Ayon:

"... In some situations they are damaged, in other situations they are flooded, and in others the access in order to enter them, comes from the side of the road that is in pieces..."

After the meeting of the State Technical Council of Civil Protection of this Wednesday at Casa Jalisco, where heads of the State Civil Protection and Firefighter Unit, the Ministries of Rural Development, Infrastructure and Public Works, Health, Social Development and Integration, and the state DIF, conducted the assessment of the damages caused by the natural phenomenon, the governor, presented a preliminary balance to ratify two deaths, one missing person, one thousand 500 people evicted and 37 municipalities almost devastated.

Meanwhile the health secretary, Jaime Agustin Gonzalez Alvarez, warns of a possible outbreak of dengue due to the flooding conditions or water concentrations in many communities damaged by "Manuel", for which they will direct their attention to them to avoid this and other diseases.

It should be noted that according to the National Civil Protection System-SINAPROC-"Manuel" regained strength to leave its status as tropical storm and become, in the afternoon of Wednesday, a Category 1 Hurricane in the Saffir Simpson scale, on the shores of Sinaloa, for which precautions are taken up to Cabo San Lucas in Baja California Sur.
