Federico Alarcón, the Councillor for Security and Emergencies in Torrevieja, announced a simulated earthquake drill scheduled for tomorrow at nine thirty AM. The drill will take place at the Palacio de los Deportes ‘Tavi y Carmona’ and is part of efforts to prepare the community for emergency situations. This event commemorates the historical earthquake that struck Torrevieja and parts of Vega Baja in eighteen twenty-nine.

More than fifty emergency personnel from the local police, Civil Guard, firefighters, and civil protection will participate in the drill, coordinated to ensure a smooth operation. The plan includes preventive evacuations in all schools across Torrevieja.

Key locations for the drill will include the Palacio de Deportes and IES Las Lagunas, where emergency crews will demonstrate their response to a simulated seismic event. After the drill, a press conference will be held to discuss the exercise and its outcomes.

Councillor Alarcón expressed gratitude for the cooperation of all involved agencies and the collaborative efforts with the Education Department of the Town Council and local schools, highlighting the importance of being prepared for adverse situations.
