MEXICO CITY—Two years after a devastating earthquake struck Mexico City, killing more than 200 people and damaging thousands of buildings, the city’s government is feuding with private technology startups over who warns residents about approaching temblors.
Last month, the city issued a new decree that the only entity allowed to send early earthquake warnings was a Mexican nonprofit known as the Center for Seismic Instrumentation and Registry, or Cires.
