Arturo Garcia Pulido, Regional Commander of the State Civil Protection Unit, UEPC, has announced that Puerto Vallarta will conduct an earthquake preparedness drill for a mock earthquake with an intensity of 7.5 on the Rickter Scale.
The sirens will sound at 12:00 noon on Monday, September 19 with citizens, businesses, hotels and restaurants participating in the civil protection drill in order to be prepared in case of disaster.
The national earthquake drill has been organized to remember the tragic morning of September 19th, 1985, when Mexico City was devastated by a strong earthquake.
There will be timed evacuation procedures with the generated results to be evaluated at the end of the day.
This exercise is taking place to promote the culture of civil protection with earthquake preparedness in Puerto Vallarta and Banderas Bay which experiences seismic activity.
