The Secretariat of Civil Protection of Guerrero activated the corresponding protocols in the state after the earthquake on May 20, with epicenter 56 kilometers to the northwest of the municipality of Ometepec, in the region of the Costa Chica.

The movement was felt strongly in the municipalities of the Costa Chica region, from moderate to strong in the central region of Acapulco and the mountainous region, as well as on the border of Guerrero and Oaxaca.

The state agency established communication with the authorities of the municipalities near the epicenter, who reported that there were no damages to regret.
