⚠️ Mexico’s Second National Drill 2026*
This is one worth putting on your calendar.
Mexico's *Segundo Simulacro Nacional 2026* will take place nationwide on *September 19, continuing the country's annual culture of emergency preparedness. The date has particular significance because September 19 marks the anniversaries of Mexico's devastating **1985 and 2017 earthquakes*.
📅 *Saturday, September 19, 2026*
⏰ *12:00 PM*
🎫 *FREE*
🏠 Participate from your *home, workplace, school or other property*
🚨 What will happen?
The exercise uses *regional risk scenarios rather than one identical scenario for the entire country, with a principal earthquake hypothesis of **magnitude 7.7 near Tehuacán, Puebla*. https://youtu.be/YATriao1GgQ?si=UpRR1pJo_pmGBFW4
Emergency warning systems are also expected to be tested, including *cellphone alerts*, alongside other public alert channels.
📝 REGISTER YOUR HOME OR WORKPLACE
The official *México Preparado* portal already lists registration, revalidation and registration-tracking options specifically for the *Segundo Simulacro Nacional 2026* https://preparados.gob.mx
💡 *TWIG TIP:* Don't treat this as simply an alarm going off. Use the drill to identify your safest evacuation route, meeting point, exits and who in your household is responsible for pets, documents or helping someone who may need assistance. 🐕📄
And remember: *this is a drill.* If emergency alerts sound on September 19 at the scheduled time, don't panic. Participate and use those minutes to make your own emergency plan stronger.
