An earthquake mock evacuation drill was conducted at our school to enhance emergency preparedness and spread awareness among students. During the drill, initiated by an alarm, students practised the "DROP, COVER & HOLD" protocol until the alarm ceased. Subsequently, teachers directed the evacuation, guiding students to exit the building as per the evacuation plan.
Students proceeded to a safe designated area where a head count confirmed the presence of all students. This drill emphasised the activation of a comprehensive response system, focusing on decision-making and timely action to ensure safety during calamities.
