In a note, Lagoa City Council explains that the exercise included the practice of «three simple gestures that can make a difference to those who practice them in the event of an earthquake», “Download – Protect – Wait”.
The action took place for a minute.
By coincidence, at the same time, there was a magnitude 2.6 earthquake (Richter), with epicenter off Faro and very close to the coast.
