By its geographical position, Mexico finds itself under a great variety of natural phenomena which can cause disasters, like earthquakes, eruptions, hurricanes, burning forest, floods and aridity (dryness). In case of disaster, the effects on financial and natural resources are huge and volatile. In Mexico the first risk to transfer is the seismic risk, because although it is the less recurrent, it has the biggest impact on the population and country. For example, an earthquake of magnitude Mw Richter scale that hit Mexico in 1985, destroyed hundreds of buildings and caused thousands of deaths. Figure 1 depicts the number of earthquakes higher than Mw occurred in.
