Magnitude 2.0 earthquake recorded in Mantiel

A recent low-magnitude earthquake in Guadalajara, monitored by the National Geographic Institute, highlights the importance of scientific monitoring in ensuring public safety. Since the event caused no damage, the data allow the community to understand natural risks without causing alarm, thereby fostering trust in institutions. Transparency in the dissemination of geological information is essential for citizens. Open access to these technical details enables the public to correctly interpret the frequency and actual impact of seismic events, dispelling myths and reducing social uncertainty in the face of natural phenomena. This example illustrates how open data serve as a bridge between science and society. By democratizing knowledge about natural events, the population is empowered to make informed decisions. Consequently, the public availability of seismic records strengthens community resilience and evidence-based governance.
