All health centers have been provided with hydration drink Vida Suero Oral provisions and drinking water, so that any person who reaches these places can be aided. This can really make a difference if there is heat stroke.

"Our priority is to prevent dehydration in children, seniors, people with diseases, and generally speaking, people who require prioritized assistance, such as immigrants,” the state governor said.

As such, she highlighted the work by the Secretariat of Health who tour immigrant shelters and provide personalized care to families who are sheltered there, providing them with wellbeing and appropriate conditions, as well as permanent support for people managing these shelters.

On the other hand, she highlighted the job of DIF Baja California in the city of Mexicali, as all Centers of Family Development have become community hydration spots, as the state capital is the municipality with the highest temperatures, reaching around 50°C (122°F) during this midsummer heat.

So far, Mexicali’s community centers have provided 727 instances of aid of this kind, working in close coordination with the Secretariat of Health led by José Adrián Medina Amarillas.
