The SSM assured that will send an alert with the legend Second National Drill, They delved deeper through an announcement on social networks.
This drill aims to promote the culture of Civil Protection in the population and contribute to the strengthening reaction capabilities, according to the Federal Government.
However, the drill has triggered negative reactions among the population, since in 2022 an earthquake occurred a few hours after the drill, “I hope that drill doesn’t become real”, “Can’t they do it another day? Is it necessary to cause collective fear, on that day that has hurt Mexicans so much? A little sensitivity, empathy and intelligence,” are some of the comments in the SSM announcement.
