Most Vulnerable Mexican States to Natural Disasters

According to the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), the following five Mexican states are the most vulnerable to natural hazards such as hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, and landslides:

1. Chiapas
2. Guerrero
3. Oaxaca
4. Puebla
5. Veracruz

These states are located in southern and central Mexico. Their high vulnerability stems from a combination of geographic exposure (coastal and seismic zones), socioeconomic factors (poverty), and insufficient infrastructure resilience.
