Mexico is very susceptible to things such as landslides just like every other place but this is not their main problem. The main problem would be with Volcanoes. Mexico had been very open to things such as landslides because of how it used to get its water. Mexico used to get its water from things such as aquifers. That worked well for a while until the land that was on top of them started to sin a little. Now they use the aqueduct system and they import water as well.
