Prepare, Be Aware.

Earthquake is a disaster that is very dangerous. It can not be predictable unlike weathers/typhoons. Earthquake is everywhere. An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of stored energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismic waves. As I said, it is too dangerous because it can effect tsunamis, landslides, collapse of many buildings and structure, which may lead loss of life and destructions of properties. So we have to prepare for it before it’s end.

An earthquake drill is one set of simulated emergency circumstances designed to test the ability of school members to make the most appropriate decisions to ensure their safety. The school members should understand the emergency response plan sufficiently in order to react appropriately during the drill. Explain to students that with careful planning it is much safer to overreact to a minor tremor than it is to underreact to a major earthquake. Thanks to our government because they practicing us the earthquake drills. So that we don’t have to worry and afraid if we encounter an earthquake and to make us safe. Earthquake drills and exercises are an extremely important part of your preparedness plan because they teach students, staff and parents how to respond to the complications of an actual earthquake, and help you evaluate how well all parts of your emergency plan work together, and how well your staff and students have been trained.

“I think drills are one of the most important parts of an earthquake plan. They allow you to see how well things operate and to correct any problems. When an earthquake happens it is too late to discover that parts of your plan may not work.”-Ron Staley, Earthquake Preparedness Program Coordinator, Pajaro Valley Unified School District, Watsonville, CA.
