Ignacio Lozoya Morales assumed the role of state coordinator for Civil Protection in Baja California on September 1, 2026, replacing Salvador Cervantes Hernández as part of recent cabinet changes. ^[1] According to NOAA and the National Meteorological Service (SMN) of CONAGUA, Pacific low-pressure system EP95 has a 90 percent probability of developing into a tropical depression or storm in the coming days. ^[2] CEPC forecast that extreme heat continues, with Mexicali reaching up to 44 °C and San Felipe and San Quintín reaching around 41 °C. ^[3] Ignacio Lozoya Morales, state coordinator of Civil Protection, said in a statement that the agency maintains constant monitoring of forecasts to track EP95, that they must not let their guard down against monsoon rains and extreme heat, and that prevention and timely information are fundamental to safeguarding Baja California families. ^[4] The Baja California State Civil Protection Coordination (CEPC) said that independently of the tropical system, the Mexican monsoon will generate precipitation in Baja California during the week. ^[5] During preventive patrols in Mexicali, the CEPC distributed 1,690 liters of bottled water and 1,690 sachets of oral rehydration salts directly to the streets. ^[6] Lozoya Morales, who previously served as the operational subdirector of the Mexicali Fire Department, will now lead the State Civil Protection Coordination (CEPC). ^[7] The new coordinator announced that the 'Hydration Route' initiative, implemented to address high temperatures, will be maintained and reinforced. ^[8]
