Mexico was struck by a strong 7.1 magnitude earthquake on September 19, 2017, which resulted in extensive damage and fatalities. A nationwide earthquake exercise was staged in remembrance of the terrible quake that rocked Mexico City in 1985, only hours before the earthquake struck.
There are estimates of around 300 fatalities, hundreds of injuries, and thousands of damaged or destroyed buildings as a result of the earthquake, which was felt in Mexico City and other areas of central Mexico. The Mexican government and international humanitarian organizations launched a large rescue and recovery effort as a result of the earthquake, which was the deadliest to strike Mexico in more than three decades.
Following the earthquake, volunteers and rescue personnel flocked to the devastated regions to look for survivors and help those in need. Emergency workers put in endless hours to clear the debris, look for survivors, and move the injured to hospitals where they might receive medical attention.
One of the worst-affected cities was Mexico City, and the citizens there were severely affected. As the city attempted to rebuild from the earthquake, many individuals were left homeless, and nearby businesses and schools had to close.
Despite the difficulties, after the earthquake, the people of Mexico banded together to help one another. Volunteers worked together to clean the debris and look for survivors as communities banded together to provide food and shelter for those in need. The outpouring of assistance was a monument to the fortitude and tenacity of the Mexican people, who had recently suffered many difficulties, such as severe earthquakes and hurricanes.
Mexico proceeded to recover and rebuild in the weeks, months, and years that followed the earthquake. In order to support people in need and rebuild communities, the government and relief organizations collaborated.
