The president was holding her first 2026 tourism press conference at the National Palace when the earthquake struck, and sirens were audible over the live broadcast. A livestream of her remarks captured the rumblings as Sheinbaum calmly motioned for everyone in the room to evacuate. The press conference resumed minutes later. Sheinbaum said she spoke with Guerrero’s governor and confirmed that no serious damage occurred there or in Mexico City. Residents of Guerrero and surrounding areas reported feeling the tremor, as seen in videos shared on X.
