MEXICO CITY, Oct. 15 (Xinhua) -- The Mexico City government is set to present in the coming days an "integral plan" to guide the city's response to earthquakes, after a severe quake devastated the city last month, said mayor Miguel Angel Mancera on Sunday.
"It is a plan which will contain actions that include those already taking places ... actions to be carried out immediately and in the short, medium and long-term for Mexico City," he said at a press conference.
Mancera said the plan would be presented next week and would include scientific, engineering and architectural regulations.
"We will not allow for another such event to happen without overall actions," he said.
The 7.1 magnitude quake on Sept. 19 killed 228 people in the capital city, brought down at least 38 buildings and severely damaged around 1,000 more.
A total of 369 people died nationwide as it also struck states of Mexico, Morelos, Puebla, Guerrero and Oaxaca.
It also came on the heels of another earthquake in early September, which hit with a strength of 8.2 magnitude, killing 98 people in the south of the country and damaging over 100,000 buildings.
On Saturday, Mancera announced the city would reinforce its earthquake alarm system by installing 800-1,000 new speakers in the streets.
