Los huracanes y los terremotos han golpeado a México una manera cruel. La devastación, la muerte y mil desgracias son el tema actual, y nosotros los Mexicanos nos hemos unido en gran apoyo a aquellos que han sido afectados por la Madre Naturaleza.

Hurricanes and earthquakes have hit México in a crude way. Devastation, death and a thousand misfortunes are the current theme, and we Mexicans have united in great support for those who have been affected by Mother Nature. 

Furacões e terremotos atingiram o México de uma maneira grosseira. A devastação, a morte e mil desgraças são o tema atual, e nós, os mexicanos, nos unimos em grande apoio para aqueles que foram afetados pela Mãe Natureza.

Evacuación de hospitales durante un desastre, establecimiento de un hospital de campo y comunicación.
Evacuation of Hospitals during Disaster, Establishment of a Field Hospital, and Communication.
Abstract
Eurasian J Med. 2017 Jun;49(2):137-141. doi: 10.5152/eurasianjmed.2017.16102. Epub 2017 Apr 28.
The buildings, working personnel, and patients and their relatives may directly or indirectly be affected by the disasters. Here we will discuss evacuation, establishing a field hospital, communication, the role of the media in disasters, and defending against sabotage. The affected individuals should be evacuated and transferred to secure zones safely and rapidly. How the decision for evacuation should be made and how the evacuation triage should be performed are important issues. Field hospitals should be established within the bounds of possibility for continuation of the treatments of evacuated people. The standards for the field hospitals and its sections that may be created according to the needs will be explained. Undoubtedly, since one of the most important subjects in disasters is communication, the types of communication in disasters and their significance will be mentioned. How the relationships with the media should be an aspect of communication and how they can be beneficially used will also be mentioned. As in all organizations and institutions, sabotage attempts may also be present concerning health facilities. For this reason, during the preparation of the hospital disaster plan, defending against sabotage will be discussed, and what should be done at that stage will be mentioned.

Comprensión de la detección de animales de los sonidos precursores del terremoto.
Understanding Animal Detection of Precursor Earthquake Sounds.
Animals (Basel). 2017 Aug 31;7(9). pii: E66. doi: 10.3390/ani7090066.
Abstract
We use recent research to provide an explanation of how animals might detect earthquakes before they occur. While the intrinsic value of such warnings is immense, we show that the complexity of the process may result in inconsistent responses of animals to the possible precursor signal. Using the results of our research, we describe a logical but complex sequence of geophysical events triggered by precursor earthquake crustal movements that ultimately result in a sound signal detectable by animals. The sound heard by animals occurs only when metal or other surfaces (glass) respond to vibrations produced by electric currents induced by distortions of the earth's electric fields caused by the crustal movements. A combination of existing measurement systems combined with more careful monitoring of animal response could nevertheless be of value, particularly in remote locations.

Desastres naturales e indicadores de cohesión social.
Natural disasters and indicators of social cohesion.
PLoS One. 2017 Jun 7;12(6):e0176885. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0176885. eCollection 2017.
Abstract
Do adversarial environmental conditions create social cohesion? We provide new answers to this question by exploiting spatial and temporal variation in exposure to earthquakes across Chile. Using a variety of methods and controlling for a number of socio-economic variables, we find that exposure to earthquakes has a positive effect on several indicators of social cohesion. Social cohesion increases after a big earthquake and slowly erodes in periods where environmental conditions are less adverse. Our results contribute to the current debate on whether and how environmental conditions shape formal and informal institutions.
