There’s an earthquake drill happening at BGC this coming September 27

While we all don’t want to experience The Big One—or that killer earthquake that scientists are predicting--, it isn’t a bad idea to make sure that we’re prepared to deal with it. One way is to conduct regular earthquake drills, which the folks at Bonifacio Global City will be doing this September 27, 2018.

Set to take place from 10am to 12pm, the city-wide earthquake drill will see major roads closed off to vehicular traffic. More specifically, the following roads will be closed during the said period:

• 5^th Ave. (26^th St. to 32^nd St. and 32^nd St. to 34^th St.)
• 39^th St. (Triangle Drive to 11^th Ave.)
• 10^th Ave. (25^th St. to McKinley Parkway)
• 2^nd Ave. (32^nd St. to 31^st St.) southbound
• 3^rd Ave. (31^st St. to 32^nd St.)

To make things more realistic, traffic lights will be temporarily turned off, which may result in added confusion. Don’t fret, though, as marshals will be on hand to assist motorists and pedestrians during the said exercise.
