Mexico is prone to flooding due to its frequent tropical storms and heavy rains. In September 2013, the country experienced one of the worst floods in its history. The Pacific coast of Mexico was hit by Tropical Storm Manuel, which caused massive flooding, landslides, and power outages. More than 140 people were killed, 53,000 homes were damaged or destroyed, and hundreds of thousands of people were affected.
The floods caused widespread damage to infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and dams. The disaster also affected the country's agriculture and tourism sectors, leading to economic losses. The Mexican government responded by providing emergency aid to affected communities, including food, water, and shelter. International aid from various countries and organizations also poured in to assist with relief efforts.
Since then, Mexico has implemented various measures to prevent and mitigate the impact of floods. These include investing in flood control infrastructure such as dams and levees, improving early warning systems, and promoting community-based disaster risk reduction initiatives. However, the country remains vulnerable to flooding, and continued efforts to address this issue are needed.
