Reconstruction process based on the decision and participation of those affected by the earthquake in Mexico.
The 2017 earthquakes left 465 dead and 180,000 homes damaged. While the government saw the affected as an object of intervention, social groups living mainly in rural areas with an indigenous presence have developed, with the support of members of our Coalition, reconstruction processes based on the decision and participation of local people, the use of local materials, and techniques that reduce vulnerability. These works deserve to be visible in a video and a campaign directed to authorities..
Mexico is at risk of suffering other disasters that would especially affect people who are most vulnerable. Rather than continuing to follow old formulas that are not prevention based and directed only to restore poor quality housing without adapting them to the needs of disaster victims, our Coalition is committed to produce a video and mount a campaign to demonstrate viable alternatives based on practical experiences directed to decision makers.
