Mexico is one of the countries with the highest incidences of seismic activity in the world, making it crucial for residents to be prepared. Researchers from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) report that 90 earthquakes occur each year with magnitudes exceeding 4 degrees on the Richter scale. Therefore, it’s vital for residents to be prepared for earthquakes in Mexico. The National Seismological Service (SSN) has issued recommendations for what to include in an emergency backpack.

Here’s what you need to pack:

– Clothing
– A first aid kit

It’s also recommended to download specific apps such as Sky Alert, SASSLA and MyShake, which can alert you and provide safety measures in the event of an earthquake. Remaining calm and following safety measures learned during drills is equally important to ensure preparedness in the face of a natural disaster. Locating evacuation routes is essential as well. If you have further questions, please refer to the SSN’s recommended contact methods or visit a meeting point in case of emergency. You can also contact the SSN directly by phone or email for additional information and reports.

SASMEX, a seismic alert system, operates in various states of Mexico including Mexico City, Puebla, Acapulco, Chilpancingo, Morelia, Oaxaca, Toluca, and Morelos. This system benefits over 25 million people in seismic risk areas through advanced earthquake detection.

Finally, the SSN offers the following safety tips in the event of a strong earthquake: remain calm and seek a place with seismic protection, turn off water and gas valves and electricity, stay away from buildings and electrical cables if on the street, and follow instructions from security personnel.

Being prepared for a potential natural disaster is crucial, and by following these recommendations, you can ensure the safety of yourself as well as your loved ones.
