Through various communication channels, including mobile alerts, the population has been informed about this preventive exercise. Citizens consulted highlighted that these types of initiatives are essential for society to know how to react to seismic events or atmospheric phenomena such as cyclones.<\/p>\n\n
That is a good thing for the people to attend to when there is an earthquake or something like a cyclone happens, so that one is attentive to what can be done.<\/p>Citizen consulted<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
The importance of preventive education<\/h3>\n\n
Danilo Fr\u00edas, another citizen who valued the measure, emphasized that education is the key tool to mitigate risks. According to his perspective, instructing the public on action protocols can make the difference when it comes to saving lives and reducing significant damage.<\/p>\n\n
For his part, C\u00e1ndido Hern\u00e1ndez suggested that these types of exercises should not be limited to a reactive response following international seismic events, but should instead be institutionalized as a constant annual practice.<\/p>\n\n
I agree that it should be done, not only when there are earthquakes in the world, but that it can be done every year so that people know what is happening.<\/p>C\u00e1ndido Hern\u00e1ndez<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
Objectives of the national exercise<\/h3>\n\n
The National Earthquake Evacuation Drill, scheduled for this Tuesday, September 8, has the following main goals:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
- Strengthen the technical preparation of the population for seismic movements.<\/li>\n
- Test evacuation plans in homes, public institutions, and educational centers.<\/li>\n
- Improve response capacity in the event of a major earthquake.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
