Hurricane Otis slammed into Mexico near the popular resort town of Acapulco on October 25, devastating the coastal community. The category 5 hurricane, the strongest storm on record to hit Mexico’s Pacific coast, devastated the tourist destination and home to 800,000 residents. Otis strengthened from a tropical storm to a “nightmare scenario” Category 5 hurricane just 12 hours before making landfall. But organizations are now on the ground in Acapulco to assist in relief work. Impact Your World will continue to monitor and vet ways to help and update as information comes in.
