Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu announced that a nationwide earthquake drill would be held on the 23rd anniversary of the Düzce Earthquake. With this exercise, it was tested whether different systems across the country would work in an integrated manner. The exercise was held at 18:57, the time of the earthquake.
The exercise does not seem to have been very successful according to the social media posts. Because many people state that they do not receive messages as mentioned. It is stated that while the sirens are almost never used in order to avoid panic in the society, the announcements are also weak. Let’s take a look at the reactions of social media together.
Some people complained that there was no message
Some people saw the situation as trolling
Some people complained of loneliness
Some people panic
Some people felt excluded
Some people stated that they were very unfamiliar with the situation.
Some people are generally disappointed
Some people were able to participate in the exercise.
There were even more notifications.
