The first list, reflects the responses that are negative, and the second one, shows the positive responses. Even though, there responses that differ in the first question, the reasons they gave to their answers are similar.

Two persons answered «earthquakes». Another two people answered «Natural disasters/phenomena» After those mentioned respondents , a variety of answers emerged; dry seasons, tornadoes, stereotypes, monetary dispute and lack of jobs were some of the answers presented by the rest of the respondents.

Authorities, disasters.
Natural disasters have different origins: caused by nature itself, or humans. There are different types of factors that contribute to this, such as pollution and explotation of resources.
Given its geographic location and geological profile, Mexico is a country highly exposed to natural hazards. It has experienced a sharp increase in the economic costs associated with hydrometeorological disasters, most notably: floods, hurricanes and droughts. They cause a decrease in supply, as a need to increase inventories to survive this adversity begins to emerge and, if there are no necessary inventories, this means a reduction in supply that will have an impact on the increase in the price of a product.
Many Mexican families are situated in geographically speaking, dangerous zones. Most of the hurricanes and earthquakes that take place in this country affect the most small and rural communities. Leaving entire families without a home. In southern Mexico, the region most affected by the twin earthquakes, the consequences are likely to be particularly severe: more than 70% of people in Guerrero, Oaxaca and Chiapas states live in poverty.
Natural disasters, Mexico, poverty.
