Residents of Mexico City dread the seismic alert, remembering the terrifying September earthquakes that struck the city on the 19th of different years. Growing up, they attended drills and learned about Mexico's seismic nature due to its tectonic plates and volcanoes. The 1985, 2017, and 2019 earthquakes, ranging from 7.1 to 8.1 on the Richter scale, caused widespread destruction and panic.
Contrary to popular belief, September is not the month for earthquakes; in fact, there have been more earthquakes in December. Mexico has hundreds of thousands of recorded earthquakes annually, with over 15,000 in 2026 alone. The technology can only record and respond to seismic events, not predict them. The Mexican government emphasizes preparing for these inevitable natural disasters through mitigation measures and drills.
