WE RECEIVED THE 2025 STATE AWARD FOR CIVIL PROTECTION

On November 12, the Government of the State of Mexico presented the 2025 State Award for Civil Protection, a distinction granted to individuals and organizations whose work strengthens prevention efforts and the protection of life and the environment in the state.

CADENA received the award in the category “For confronting natural or anthropogenic phenomena that put the population at risk or danger”, highlighting our humanitarian response to disasters and our support for vulnerable communities.

We extend our gratitude to our volunteer network, strategic allies, donors, operational team, and everyone who makes it possible for us to continue building bridges of help, hand in hand, where they are needed most.

 

WE CONTINUED OUR RESPONSE TO FLOODS

Throughout the month, we continued responding to the severe floods that occurred during October across more than five states. In Huauchinango, La Ceiba, and Pahuatlán, Puebla, we delivered blankets, hygiene kits, mattresses and cots, toothbrushes, face masks, water filters, and solar lamps. Meanwhile, in Ocotepec, we distributed blankets and food kits and provided 120 medical consultations. Concurrently, in Coyutla and El Alamo, Veracruz, we distributed hygiene and cleaning kits, mattresses and cots, blankets, water jugs, face masks, toothbrushes, water filters, and solar lamps. Through these efforts, we were able to provide support for over 8,000 people in total.

HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION IN THE SIERRA OF DURANGO

From November 21 to 24, our CADENA Youth volunteers delivered hand in hand help to communities in the Sierra of Durango facing low temperatures and frost. Throughout four days, we delivered 1,500 food kits and blankets, as well as providing medical and dental consultations in communities in the municipality of Pueblo Nuevo. Thanks to the commitment of our CADENA Youth volunteers and the dedication of our staff, we were able to reach over 6,000 people.

 

RESPONSE TO FLOODS AND FROSTS IN SAN LUIS POTOSI

The heavy rains and flooding recorded during October continued to affect communities in San Luis Potosi. Additionally, during this frost season, the Huasteca region has faced low temperatures and continued rainfall.

Over the course of four days, we delivered food, hygiene, and cleaning kits, electric grills, mattresses and cots, face masks, toothbrushes, water filters, and solar lamps, supporting over 290 families in total.
