At any time, on anyone's turn, and it is not an action. The one limit is that you cannot play one between drawing a card and resolving that card: for example, not Airlift after an Infection card is flipped but before its cube is placed.

“Event cards cannot be played between the drawing of a card and the resolution of that same card.”
