| With Hurricane Dean's path predicted well in advance of the storm,[72] the Government of Mexico was able to make ample preparations. On August 17, a state of emergency was declared for the state of Quintana Roo where Dean was expected to make landfall. On August 18 authorities began evacuating tourists[73] and those residents living in the most vulnerable parts of Quintana Roo.[61][74] The state government set up storm shelters in schools and other public buildings.[75] With emergency supplies at the ready, the state of Yucatán, Quintana Roo's neighbour to the northwest, declared a green alert.[76] On August 19 a hurricane watch was issued on the Yucatán Peninsula from Chetumal to San Felipe and residents made their last-minute preparations.[77] israel toursPDF Editor | |
