Mexico has activated two national emergency response plans for Hurricane Simon along the country's Pacific coast.[^1]

As of the filed reports, the storm was located 96 km west of Manzanillo, Colima, travelling northwest parallel to the shoreline.[^2]

Plan Marina remains in aid phase for Colima, and preventive phase for Jalisco, Michoacán and Nayarit. The DN-III-E plan is also active.[^3]

National Civil Protection coordinator Laura Velázquez Alzúa stated on 11 October 2026 that the storm was expected to remain near Cabo Corrientes, Jalisco, through Monday.[^4]

This track appears to keep the strongest winds offshore while coastal states remain under preparedness protocols.
