How to help after the 7.1-magnitude earthquake near Mexico City killed more than 100 people and turned buildings into rubble.
Social media for good
Social media is also helping people locate loved ones and reconnect families. Google has activated its people finder platform where people can share information about someone or ask for help locating a friend or family member.
Local help
Locally, help is needed with volunteers getting dispatched to needed areas. Twitter is full of pleas for rescue teams. Although it's not much, a retweet could help spread the word about a community's needs.
Donate what you can
Organizations like UNICEF Mexico are looking for monetary donations.
There's a big need for clothes, water, and food. Giving to places like the Red Cross Mexico, Oxfam Mexico, and Save the Children Mexico is a way to get resources flowing. Smaller nonprofits like Project Paz are also collecting donations for earthquake relief.
