MEXICO - A magnitude 4.0 earthquake was reported earlier this morning, occurring 49 miles below its epicenter in Mapastepec, Chiapas, Mexico.

As Mexico’s earthquake agency, SSN, continues to monitor the situation, magnitude and other quake parameters may still change in the next few hours due to updates in seismic activity. VolcanoDiscovery, which first reported the quake, cross-referenced the magnitude with another agency which confimed it was a 4.0.

Not much is known in these initial stages regarding damage and no reports have come in regarding concerns for suppliers.
