On August 14, a national multi-hazard drill will take place, aimed at preparing the population for various emergencies, including the possibility of the El Niño phenomenon. According to Infobae, families, workers, and students will need to follow specific procedures based on their location during the drill.

The National Institute of Civil Defense (INDECI) recommends that individuals identify evacuation routes, safe zones, and the responsibilities they must assume in case the alarm sounds. These preparations are essential to ensure the safety of everyone during emergency situations.
