The date of the first National Drill 2025 has been announced! And we tell you everything you need to know to know how to act and not be caught off guard by the sound of the seismic alert in the CDMX.
The National Drill will be carried out as part of the preparation for an eventual real earthquake, and President Claudia Sheinbaum has spoken on the subject of the seismic alert sounding on cell phones, in addition to sounding on the city’s loudspeakers and other media that also broadcast the alert.
“It is being worked on with the telephone companies. They presented it to me the other day, but I don’t remember if by April it is going to be ready or it is until September,” Sheinbaum said on the morning of March 21.
It is expected that we will have more details about the implementation date of this plan will sound the seismic alert through our cell phone.
However, the National Coordination of Civil Protection has informed on its social networks that if you are in the CDMX you will receive an alert message on your cell phone with the phrase “this is a drill”.
This was intended to be implemented in September 2024 for testing purposes. Unfortunately it did not reach all devices.
