Friend, friend, dear community… are you ready to empower yourself and become an active agent of your own safety and that of yours? Next September 19 is not just a date on the calendar; It is a powerful opportunity to honor, learn and evolve. The time has come to participate in the National Drill 2025, a momentous event that commemorates the earthquakes of 1985 and 2017, but that, above all, looks to the future with hope and preparation. The authorities call us, but this goes far beyond a simple call: it is an invitation to be part of a solid, conscious and empowering culture of prevention. Let me tell you why this is incredibly important and how you can live it with a winning mindset!

Your Participation Creates a Collective Shield

Imagine for a moment that every action you take today sows the seed of tranquility tomorrow. A simulation is exactly that: a rehearsal for life, a safe space where we can simulate our responses to a real eventuality, such as an earthquake. It is not about acting out of panic, but from the confidence that comes from being prepared. This exercise, which will take place at 12:00 hours sharp, is your chance to practice, to polish those protocols that can make the difference between chaos and calm. It’s your time to shine and show that together we are stronger!

Think about your daily life: are you at your work, at school or just walking down the street? Wherever you are, this drill is for you. The first step towards your empowerment is to identify your specific evacuation routes for that area. Knowing the safest path is like having a superpower that guides you towards protection. And it doesn’t end there: locating designated meeting points is crucial to reuniting with your tribe, to make sure everyone is safe. That post-drill hug will be the best reward!

Now, let’s talk about your attitude during the exercise. Remember these three magic words: don’t run, don’t push, don’t scream. Because? Because your greatest strength lies in staying calm. Serenity is contagious; When you stay centered, you inspire those around you to do the same. Become that beacon of tranquility that everyone needs. Also, sharpen your senses: check if you can hear the seismic alert in your location. Your attention to this detail not only benefits you, but contributes to the effectiveness of the system for everyone.

Your Backpack of Life: A Symbol of Self-Sufficiency

Have you prepared your life suitcaseDon’t take it as a game, because every movement you practice today will be recorded in your muscle memory, ready to be activated if you ever need it.

At the end of the exercise, always follow the indications of the authorities and emergency brigades. These people dedicate their lives to protecting us, and trusting their guidance is an act of collective wisdom. And here’s an influencer tip: if you detect that the seismic alert did not sound in your area, your voice matters! Reporting is not a complaint, it is an invaluable contribution to improving the system for everyone. You are the eyes and ears in your community; Your observation could be the information that improves the protection of thousands.

This September 19, at 12:00 p.m., we are not only remembering the past; we are actively building a more resilient future. Every step you take, every route you identify, every deep breath you take to stay calm, makes you an everyday hero. Prevention is the purest form of optimism: it is believing that the future exists and that it is worth preparing to live it fully. You have the power to transform uncertainty into confidence! Accept this challenge, participate with all your energy and share your experience to inspire others!

They discover a tunnel to extract illegal fuel in Mineral de la Reforma

They find clandestine infrastructure connected to the Pemex pipeline in a state operation.

Tunnel found for hydrocarbon theft

Elements of the Hidalgo Public Security Secretariat (SSPH) located a tunnel used for the illegal extraction of fuel on a property in the El Saucillo neighborhood, in Mineral de la Reforma.

The discovery occurred after a citizen complaint. Agents carried out an operation that led to the arrest of five people and the seizure of three properties. They also seized approximately 500 meters of high-pressure hose and doses of alleged drugs.

The detainees tried to flee when they noticed the police presence, but were captured. As part of the investigations, three searches were carried out. In one of the properties, a tunnel six meters deep and 50 meters long was found, connected to a Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) pipeline to illegally extract hydrocarbons.

In another property there was a warehouse that was allegedly used to store the extracted fuel. The secured hose was used for clandestine intakes.

The actions were coordinated by the SSPH, the Attorney General’s Office of the State of Hidalgo (PGJEH), the Secretariat of National Defense and the National Guard. The detainees were placed at the disposal of the Federal Public Ministry, which will integrate the corresponding investigation folders.

With this discovery, during the current state administration there are 19 tunnels located in Hidalgo intended for the theft of hydrocarbons. These have been detected in municipalities such as Cuautepec, Pachuca, Tepeji del Río, Tlanalapa, Tlaxcoapan, Tula, Mineral de la Reforma, Tepeapulco, Tepetitlán, Nopala and Atitalaquia.

Imports of Mexican cattle to the US resume

Following a health agreement, the US will reopen the port of Douglas, Arizona, for Mexican cattle.

President Claudia Sheinbaum reported that the United States will resume importing Mexican cattle starting the last week of August. The decision came after an official communication from the US Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins.

Reopening schedule

The reopening will begin at the border port of Agua Prieta, Sonora, linked to the Douglas crossing, Arizona. August 24 will be the first date of operation. Later, two additional points will be enabled in Chihuahua, subject to compliance with the Joint Action Plan against screwworm.

Sheinbaum instructed federal agencies to accelerate coordination with US authorities. He highlighted the work of the Secretary of Agriculture, Julio Berdegué, and the director of Senasica, Columba López, to strengthen health measures.

  • The animals will enter with complete inspections to verify that they do not show signs of the plague.
  • Later, the opening of the ports of Santa Teresa and Columbus, in New Mexico, will be evaluated.

The president described the news as positive for Mexican ranchers, who for months contained the spread of the screwworm. He appreciated Rollins’ willingness to maintain an institutional relationship.

Rollins, for his part, stated that the protection of the US livestock industry remains a priority and that the temporary closure of crossings was necessary to reduce risks. The reopening is possible thanks to binational collaboration.
