Firefighters and Civil Defense simulate the evacuation of risk areas; resident will receive alert on their cell phone

Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Barrera, from the National Center for Natural Disaster Monitoring and Alerts (Cemaden), explained that now those who live in communities with sirens will also receive an alert on their cell phone indicating the danger:

"The siren rang, the resident will receive the message on their cell phone. It's a little later, in a complementary way, for the person to realize that the system is working and be able to find an escape route and a support point", said the director.

According to him, a sixth alert level was added to the Cemaden system.
