Join the annual earthquake preparedness drill this Thursday at 10:16 a.m. in Quebec. The City of Montreal invites everyone to participate in the awareness campaign, emphasizing the importance of safety during earthquakes.
Citizens are urged to remember the three key steps: crouch, take cover, and hold on until the shaking stops. The Montréal Agglomeration Civil Security stresses the significance of everyone knowing and practicing these actions, as Montreal lies in a seismic zone.
Taking place every third Thursday of October, the ‘Grande Secousse du Québec’ event aims to educate the public about earthquake risks and preparedness. The city’s objective is to foster positive habits and prompt individuals to update their emergency plans and kits at home, schools, and workplaces.
