The Junta will conduct a large-scale, seismic simulation (drill) named Respuesta26 tomorrow, affecting three municipalities in Granada: Santa Fe, Atarfe, and Vélez de Benaudalla.

The drill simulates the aftermath of 4.2 and 6.0 magnitude earthquakes and they have probably chosen Vélez de Benaudalla because it is just downstream from the Rules Dam, should there be a breach.

Now, residents in Santa Fe will receive a mock ES-Alert notification on their mobile phones at 10:07h. The text will clearly state it is a drill, and the public is instructed to read it but take no action. So in the immortal words of Clive Dunn in Dad’s Army, “Don’t panic, Mr Mainwaring!”

There might be emergency vehicles flying around but as long as you don’t step in front of one, there is no need for concern.
