The event is based on a detailed analysis at all command levels of the measures to be taken in different stages relevant to the reduction or mitigation of the impact by quakes.

In 2014, Cuba reported 5 thousand 799 telluric movements, with 20 of them perceptible as reported by the national seismologic network.

As a prelude to the quake exercise, Cubans will carry out another drill over the weekend to strengthen the preparation against hurricanes, drought, and other natural phenomena, as well as epidemics.
