At an event to honor International Day for Disaster Reduction on Oct. 13, the Resident Coordinator of the United Nations Organization (UN) in Mexico, Magdy Martínez Soliman, and the Governor of Chiapas, Juan Sabines Guerrero, signed an agreement to establish environmentally-safe practices to dispose of oil pollutants in the state, reports The News. "It is time to act to prevent (disasters)," Sabines Guerrero said. "We will take action against oil products that contaminate our water." The Governor also mentioned that contingency plans to prepare for cyclones and forest fires have been put in place.
