The recent floods in Mexico have been called one of the largest natural disasters in Mexican history. Since Oct. 28, 2007, heavy rains and subsequent flooding have impaired more than a million people in the states of Tabasco, Chiapas and Veracruz. It is estimated that more than 80,000 people have been displaced and are now living in temporary shelters. Days of rain and unusually large waves off the coast inundated Tabasco, a low-lying and oil-rich state on Mexico’s tropical Gulf coast. At one point 800,000 homes were under water. Habitat for Humanity Mexico is working to assist more than 500 families through repair programs, training and rehabilitation of community resources.
