Why is Mexico trembling and what should we do?
Mexico is a country with high seismic activity due to its location between several tectonic plates, such as the Cocos, Pacific, and North American plates. This causes frequent tremors, especially in areas like Mexico City, Oaxaca, and Guerrero.
In the event of an earthquake, it is important to remain calm, stay away from windows and objects that could fall, and take shelter in safe areas such as under a sturdy table, forming a “triangle of life,” or next to a load-bearing wall. After the earthquake, check for possible gas, electricity, or water leaks and follow the instructions of civil protection or local authorities.
