Mexico’s Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), the state-owned utility that supplies electricity across the country, has put an emergency plan into action as Hurricane Trudy bears down on Mexican territory. The agency says it has deployed more than 2,000 workers to areas expected to be affected by the storm.
The crews include linemen, engineers, and support staff tasked with reinforcing infrastructure, monitoring substations, and preparing to restore power quickly if outages occur. Heavy machinery, emergency generators, and transportation units have reportedly been positioned in strategic locations so that repair teams can respond as soon as weather conditions allow.
Hurricanes are a recurring threat during Mexico’s storm season, often knocking out electricity to thousands of homes and businesses along the coasts. By pre-positioning personnel and equipment before Trudy makes landfall, CFE aims to limit the scope and duration of any blackouts and to reconnect affected communities faster than in past storms.
Authorities are urging residents in the hurricane’s projected path to follow official advisories, secure their homes, and stay alert for updates from civil protection agencies as the storm develops.
