Seven casualties all on the ground waiting in an open field near two vehicles acting as a reception for the governor. Cause of failure -- unknown.
The slow response to reporting damage on the ground is due to the remoteness of the area. Many indigenous dwellings there are adobe mud brick.
Even the federal highways are thin-skinned potholed asphalt
Highway terrain cuts have near vertical sides. A nightmare for land slides. Old engineered bridges even over small arroyos.
Many of the rural villages are at the end of trails suitable only with 4x4's. not even Chicken Buses can traverse them. Aid will be a long time coming.
