In the wake of Hurricane John’s passing, communities across Guerrero have been scrambling to recover. The state government has declared a state of emergency in several impacted regions, emphasizing the need for expedited relief efforts. Weather experts have commented on the hurricane’s unusual intensity for this time of year, suggesting climate shifts are contributing to more frequent and severe tropical storms.
