Natural Disasters and School Emergency Drills

Flooding and Landslides: There is a risk of flooding and landslides throughout Mexico. Monitor local news for relevant information.

Earthquakes and Volcanoes: A number of seismic fault lines run throughout Mexico, so the country is at risk of earthquakes. The Servicio Sismologico Nacional (SSN) monitors seismic activity in the country. Mexico is also home to 48 active volcanoes, the majority in central and southern Mexico, with some in the state of Baja California.

Tsunamis and Cyclones: As a nation with large coastlines, Mexico is at risk of both tsunamis (mainly on the Pacific coast) and cyclones.

Extreme Heat and Droughts: These two natural hazards are becoming more frequent in Mexico as the world's climate changes. Temperatures worldwide are rising and water is becoming scarcer, causing the two phenomenon to exacerbate one other.
