Sismos

Abstract

Mexico is one of the most seismically active countries in the world due to his location inside Pacific Ring of Fire and the interaction of five tectonic plates in his territory. This represents big challenges for his population, who have created a prevention culture around the devastating earthquakes happened until the present. The science and the technology allow us to understand the reasons and consequences of the earthquakes with the aim to disaster risk reduction and generate a better relation between nature and society.
