In the event of a significant seismic alert or activation of the official seismic alert, detailed in the text, the population should follow the recommendations of the Civil Protection Authorities and address health measures:
Staying calm
Retreating to lower-risk areas, such as trabes, columns, or cargo walls
Do not use elevators or stairs
Stay away from windows, mirrors and objects that may fall
If you are on the ground floor and you have an open place, it is recommended to leave
If personal safety is not put at risk, disconnect electricity and close water and gas keys
Instead of the drill, the authorities recommended reviewing and updating the family risk prevention plan, identifying lower-risk areas, establishing roles to follow in case of anism, and having the emergency backpack ready.
