Since yesterday, we have been advised to stay at home, avoid unnecessary travel, and “follow official channels,” but it is not always clear what those are or how to receive reliable information.
Here we share a very useful tool we discovered for receiving real-time alerts: Jalisco Alerta.
It is an official free app from the Government of Jalisco and the State Civil Protection Unit designed to send immediate notifications in the event of risks or emergencies.
