When was the last tremor in Mexico? Today, Thursday June 15, a series of earthquakes have been registered since the beginning of the day, and that has put the general population and the authorities on alert. Along these lines, find out here about the seismic activities reported by the National Seismological Service (SSN) throughout the Mexican territory.
Earthquake in Mexico: What should an emergency backpack have in case of disasters?
It is important to mention that Mexico is one of the countries in the world with the highest seismic activity, since according to statistics, there are more than 90 earthquakes per year with a magnitude greater than 4 degrees on the Richter scale, which is equivalent to 60% of all the telluric movements that are registered in the world.
Although the interaction between tectonic plates is the main cause of earthquakes, it is not the only one. Any process that can achieve large concentrations of energy in the rocks can generate earthquakes whose size will depend, among other factors, on how large the stress concentration zone is. Have you ever wondered why earthquakes occur? Because the earth is covered by a rocky layer known as the lithosphere, up to 100 km thick, which is fragmented into large portions called tectonic plates.
What measures has the Government of Mexico taken to mitigate the impact of the earthquakes?
The Government of Mexico has taken a series of measures to mitigate the impact of earthquakes, including:
- Building Codes: New buildings in Mexico must be built to withstand earthquakes. The government has also been working to retrofit older buildings to make them more resistant to earthquakes.
- Early warning system: Mexico has a nationwide early warning system that can alert residents of an impending earthquake. This gives people time to take shelter before the shaking starts.
- Disaster Preparedness: The government has created a disaster preparedness plan that includes training for first responders and evacuation plans for major cities.
- Public awareness: The government has launched a public awareness campaign to teach people how to stay safe during an earthquake.
EDOMEX: How to act during an earthquake?
He Government of the State of Mexico has published the following recommendations on how citizens should act in the event of an earthquake:
- Go to the security zones already established.
- Stay away from glass or objects that could fall.
- If possible, avoid panic and try to remain calm.
- Do not run in the vehicular area.
- If you are driving, stop your vehicle.
- If you are in a building do not use the elevator, always the stairs.
- Pay attention to minors, the disabled and the elderly
