**Residents of Monte Parnaso Fear Landslides Threatening Their Homes**
Residents of Monte Parnaso Street, located in the Lomas Conjunto Residencial neighborhood, are increasingly concerned about their homes being damaged by an ongoing water leak. These homes have been marked with a yellow warning label by the Municipal Civil Protection (PCM) due to the risk. Claudia Vega, one of the residents, stated that a drainage system connected to Montes Escandinavos Street has already caused several homes to collapse due to soil erosion. She fears a similar fate may befall their homes as well.
It’s alarming to note that 53% of Tijuana’s territory is vulnerable to landslides. Claudia’s home has been labeled a risk zone for over four months, with little hope of resolution. Residents are seeking help from the State Commission for Public Services of Tijuana (CESPT), yet feel left in the dark. Maria Castillo, another local resident, shared her frustration saying that CESPT hasn’t kept them updated on efforts to address the issue since the previous year, particularly after a landslide devastated part of Montes Escandinavos.
As the rainy season approaches, the risk increases. “Water has been restored, but the runoff from the drain is a major concern with the coming rains,” explained Castillo. Despite efforts to follow guidelines, water continues to leak persistently from the system, posing a continuous threat to their neighborhoods and homes.

**Tijuana’s Landslide Vulnerability Draws Local Concern**
Amid growing fear of landslides in the Monte Parnaso neighborhood, city officials have acknowledged that more than half of Tijuana’s area is susceptible to such hazards. The recent landslide incidents in Montes Escandinavos have brought this issue into sharp focus, raising questions about the city’s preparedness and response.
In response, Tijuana’s Municipal Civil Protection has emphasized the importance of revisiting safety protocols and infrastructure improvements. Despite a newfound urgency in addressing landslide risks, some residents feel progress is slow. The city has been urged to implement measures that could better predict and manage erosion-prone areas to prevent further property damage.
Furthermore, the Commission for the Prevention of Natural Disasters is reportedly developing a new risk atlas aimed at identifying and mapping active landslide zones throughout the region. This initiative hopes to provide a more comprehensive approach to managing these ongoing issues. The local government is also in works with the National Housing Commission to initiate housing projects for affected families. These efforts aim to offer safer, more stable housing alternatives for residents currently living within high-risk zones.
The city continues to seek funds and expertise to mitigate these natural threats, as well as reassure residents that their safety remains a top priority amidst the climatic challenges facing Tijuana.
