Day of Popular Action

19

Sep

The "Day of Popular Action," on September 19, is a day in Mexico where people practice being ready for earthquakes. On this day, schools, offices, and other places have drills where everyone pretends there's an earthquake and practices staying safe. It's an important day because there were big earthquakes in Mexico on September 19th in 1985 and 2017. By practicing, people learn what to do to protect themselves if a real earthquake happens. It helps everyone feel safer and more prepared.
