The Mexican Navy (Semar) has activated the Plan Marina in its aid phase to support communities affected by Tropical Storm Barry in the states of Tamaulipas and Veracruz. The storm caused rising river levels, including the Río Soto la Marina and Río Tamesí, leading to flooding and the deployment of naval personnel to assist local populations. The federal government has provided humanitarian aid, including shelters, food supplies, and urgent response operations. Relief efforts continue in southern Tamaulipas and northern Veracruz, with additional support from state guards and local authorities delivering provisions to affected residents in Altamira, Tampico, and Madero. Meanwhile, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has dispatched firefighters and rescue teams to Texas to assist in flood victim search efforts, and the Mexican government has offered consular assistance to 30 nationals impacted by the floods there. The United States ambassador to Mexico, Ronald Johnson, expressed gratitude for Mexico's solidarity and support following the Texas floods. Additionally, local governments such as Gómez Palacio are providing materials like tarps to rural families to protect damaged homes from ongoing rain.
