On February 18, the first national drill will take place in Mexico City and the State of Mexico, designed to test emergency response procedures. This exercise is part of broader efforts to ensure public preparedness for potential emergencies, particularly in the context of earthquake situations that are a risk in the area. The importance of understanding essential safety measures cannot be overstated, as many citizens rely on the Metro for daily transportation.

The Sistema de Transporte Colectivo (STC) Metro in Mexico City has announced its participation in the national drill. While the underground facilities of the Metro are generally considered to have lower risk in such scenarios, they have established protocols to follow in the event of an emergency, such as an earthquake. These protocols are crucial for the safety of both commuters and staff, ensuring that everyone knows the appropriate actions to take during such incidents.

As the drill approaches, the Metro authorities are reminding commuters to stay informed about the procedures they should follow during an earthquake while using the Metro. This proactive approach indicates a commitment to public safety and encourages citizens to prepare for eventualities, reinforcing the culture of safety in public transportation systems. Through this drill, authorities hope to instill confidence in their emergency procedures while also promoting a sense of responsibility among passengers.
