World Central Kitchen is pre-positioning teams in Mexico as Hurricane Simon rapidly heads for the Central Pacific Coast, including Michoacán, Colima, and Jalisco. Current estimates have the storm reaching Category 4 status before it makes landfall. Intense rainfall could trigger flash flooding and mudslides, and winds could surpass 100 miles per hour.
We have responded to hurricanes on the Pacific Coast of Mexico for 3 consecutive years; Hurricane Otis in 2023, Hurricane John in 2024, and Hurricane Erick in 2025.
By working with communities and local partners before the storm hits, our teams will be in place and ready to act as soon as it is safe to do so—ensuring no time is lost getting meals to the people who need them most.
This remains a quickly evolving situation.
WCK is first to the frontlines, providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises. When disaster strikes, WCK’s Relief Team mobilizes to the frontlines with the urgency of now to start cooking and provide meals to people in need.
By partnering with organizations on the ground and activating a network of food trucks or emergency kitchens, WCK provides freshly made, nutritious meals to communities impacted by disasters quickly and effectively.

World Central Kitchen está preposicionando a los equipos en México, ya que el huracán Simon se dirige rápidamente a la costa del Pacífico Central, incluidos Michoacán, Colima y Jalisco. Las estimaciones actuales indican que la tormenta alcanzará la categoría 4 antes de tocar tierra. Las lluvias intensas podrían provocar inundaciones repentinas y deslizamientos de tierra, y los vientos podrían superar las 100 millas por hora.
Hemos respondido a los huracanes en la costa del Pacífico de México durante 3 años consecutivos: el huracán Otis en 2023, el huracán John en 2024 y el huracán Erick en 2025.
Al trabajar con las comunidades y los socios locales antes de que llegue la tormenta, nuestros equipos estarán listos para actuar tan pronto como sea seguro hacerlo, garantizando que no se pierda tiempo en llevar comida a las personas que más las necesitan.
Fundada en 2010 por el chef José Andrés, World Central Kitchen (WCK) es una organización sin fines de lucro que es la primera en línea, proporcionando comidas frescas en respuesta a las crisis. Aplicando nuestro modelo de acción rápida, aprovechando los recursos locales y adaptándonos en tiempo real, WCK ha servido más de 880 millones de comidas nutritivas en todo el mundo.
Esta situación sigue evolucionando rápidamente.
