led the Second 2026 National Multi-Hazard Drill Friday afternoon from Lima's Main Square.
The capital's Main Square was the exercise's focal point, where a magnitude 8.8 earthquake was simulated and coordination among more than 20 national and local entities was put to the test.
During the exercise, demonstrations of search and rescue, fire control, evacuation, and care for injured people were carried out, among other response actions in a disaster scenario.
The drill aims to ensure that citizens know what to do before, during, and after such emergencies and participate in an organized manner.
It also seeks to ensure that they put into practice the safety measures planned for their households, workplaces, educational institutions, or other places where they may be, whether in Lima or any other Peruvian region.
