P waves and Q waves and a pan half full of water guessing at the direction of the epicenter...
The pan needs to be set on something extremely sturdy and the soil beneath the structure must not be subject to liquifaction (i.e. set on bedrock)
I understand UNAM has a sizeable Seismology department within its geology structure. Volcanology too. Would love to visit. Have there ever been any Plinean eruptions in Mexico? Volcan de Fuego, Popo, and Paricutin all seemed to not involve catastrophic ejecta.
Looking at Youtube videos it amazes me of the number of ignorant Europeans who ignored obvious signs of an impending tsunami at Phuket Thailand. Then there are ignorant backpackers who insist on hiking up to the crater lip of unstable volcanoes. Poof! Pyroclastic hiccup.
I was given a gift of an entire ensemble of MRE's by a friend. 24 different meals, 2-cases. Aduana had a fit when they discovered the two cases -- tried to insist they were for military use only. They repose on a rat proof shelf high in the kitchen. Most probably they would be used after a hurricane. But with huge chest freezers and a generator, food is in 3rd place after drinking and domestic water.
My little casita has strategically placed inner walls and about 200' of 3/4" rebar in the concrete roof cap. Another 500' in the walls. Six-sack cement construction with inland rather than salt laden gravel and sand.
It pays to learn about possible regional hazards and the reality of the most common inconveniences and problems should a disaster strike. I have an industrial size JUEGO de PRIMER AUXILIOS (First Aid Kit). "Where There Is No Doctor" book in Spanish.
