Restructuring Mexico's infrastructure may be a priority.

Kindly let me say one thing about the circumstances in Mexico.

This was a very severe earthquake. It will be some time before the dead are known and the degree the infrastructure is damaged.

There may be a loss of expertise among the dead that would normally expedite these rescue efforts. The international community may want to send experts to the degree there is safety in this region. Communicate by cell phone and provide stability to the efforts.

Relief efforts have not stopped (click here) since the quake struck with volunteer rescue teams, known as 'moles', crawling under the rubble to locate and rescue those trapped by falling debris.

Some Mexico City residents slept in the street while authorities and volunteers set up tented collection centers to distribute food and water.

Volunteers, soldiers and firefighters formed human chains and dug with hammers and picks to find dust-covered survivors and dead bodies in the remains of apartment buildings, schools and a factory.

Del Valle, a middle-class neighbourhood in the capital, was among those hit hardest by the quake and all but a few buildings on one street were reduced to rubble....

Mexico City, (click here) the country's capital, has been reduced to rubble and what isn't rubble may not be safe. I am wondering how appropriate it would be for the military to move into the region and assist people from the danger zone. When and if that happens exposure to towns and cities OCCUPIED by drug cartels may become a danger to displaced Mexicans.

The international community may want to assess the deepest needs of Mexico at this time.

It may be time for the IMF to reassess the ideas for a safer population away from the fault zones causing these issues. If there is a vision of a stronger and more peaceful Mexico that can come out of these two enormous earthquakes then maybe that should happen. 

If the earthquakes are this much of a disruption of the government it may also be as much a disruption to the cartels. There shouldn't be missed opportunities.
