Community Note

Heads Up: The National Earthquake Drill. If your phone starts blaring an emergency alert this Saturday, September 19, do not panic. Baja California Sur is participating in Mexico’s annual national earthquake drill. The exercise simulates a 7.1 magnitude quake out in the Gulf of California, and you can expect a test alert to come through the national system directly to your mobile device.

This country-wide drill marks the anniversary of the historic 1985 earthquake and is a major event across Mexico. While we usually spend our time down here prepping for hurricanes and summer storms, this Saturday is the perfect excuse to do a quick review of your own household safety. Take a few minutes to check your emergency supply kits, identify the safe zones in your house, and review evacuation routes if you run a business in the neighbourhood. If you want to officially register your home or business for the drill, you can do so at simulacronacional.com.mx.
