Short summary
The Puebla–Morelos earthquake (19 September 2017) was the most damaging event in central Mexico since 1985.

We describe this exceptional mass wasting cascade and its predisposing factors, which have important implications for both the evolution of the volcanic edifice and hazard assessment.
