This initiative is promoted by the National Emergency and Civil Protection Authority and seeks to draw attention to seismic risk and the importance of simple behaviors that citizens must adopt in the event of an earthquake, but which can save lives.

It lasts just 1 minute, during which participants are invited to perform the 3 life-saving gestures: DOWN, PROTECT and WAIT.

Everyone can and should participate: individually or in a group, wherever they are. And so that we can monitor participants across the country, we invite you to register in the dedicated area of this website.

Many areas of the world are prone to earthquakes and Portugal is a territory with areas particularly sensitive to this risk. We can be anywhere when an earthquake starts, but are we prepared to face a situation like this and recover from it quickly?

Find out or remember the procedures you should adopt before, during and after an earthquake, and organize yourself, your home and family in 7 essential steps. Share this initiative with your family, friends and co-workers. Because WE ARE ALL CIVIL PROTECTION!
