Overview
- Indeci will run the nationwide exercise at 8:00 p.m. Tuesday, October 13, 2026, with regions executing the hazard scenario each government identified.
- The drill begins with sirens, horns or phone alerts and uses SISMATE and local sirens to prompt two minutes in a safe spot followed by an orderly evacuation to designated meeting points.
- Yanahuara authorities have mapped two nearby safe areas after lahar and torrent overflows earlier this year and urged residents to treat the exercise seriously.
- Indeci promotes the I-U-E-A-O family plan method to help households identify hazards, locate safe zones, pack an emergency backpack and assign roles before and during evacuations.
- A recent survey showed about 70% of people practiced their family plan in August, and the night timing of this drill lets authorities test low-visibility evacuations and mass alerting under realistic conditions.
