Overview
- The Servicio Sismológico Nacional logged a cluster of small-to-moderate earthquakes on August 13–14, 2026, with the largest recorded at magnitude 4.3 off the coast of Ciudad Hidalgo.
- Officials reported no material damage or injuries from the series of temblors and said Mexico City’s seismic alarm did not activate because the events did not meet energy or proximity thresholds.
- Most quakes were centered offshore in the Soconusco/Chiapas area, with additional SSN entries that day showing activity in Oaxaca, Guerrero, Baja California and Michoacán.
- The SSN published technical details for each event—magnitude, time, epicenter coordinates and depth—and Protección Civil said monitoring would continue and the public should follow official channels.
- Chiapas sits above an active subduction zone where the Cocos plate converges with North America, so authorities urged residents to maintain preparedness measures such as emergency kits and evacuation plans.
