drill is being done in every public or private schools in the country. Our school is privileged to participate
in this very remarkable act. This is in accordance with the guidelines prescribed in the DepEd Disaster
Management Operations Manual with the help of the LDRRMO.

The objectives are:

1. to ensure the safety of the school occupants during and after a damaging earthquake;
2. To help school administrators and their disaster action groups to design a specific response
plan of the school for earthquake;
3. To train students, faculty members and non-teaching personnel on how to practice proper
action and response during earthquake; and
4. To test various elements of the response plan designed by the School Disaster Management
Committee.

On June 20, 2019 at 2:00 PM, the School DRRMC, Elven John T. Apolinario conducted the said
earthquake drill to pacify essential information needed by both the teachers and the pupils. The
national simultaneous earthquake drill was conducted and this school was pleased to be a part of this
event. The teachers and students did their best to portray their roles especially the proper action and
response during earthquakes.

After the drill, an evaluation was done. The SDRRMC congratulated the participants for the job well
done. Several suggestions were given to improve the students’ and teachers’ performance on the
emergency evacuation procedures and to ensure a safe and orderly evacuation in order to prevent
loss of lives and injuries especially if real earthquakes will occur.

A teacher should observe and implement the following to ensure safety of the pupils, to wit;

1. Teachers should be the last one to go out of the classroom to ensure that all occupants of the
room are evacuated.
2. Look for other evacuation area aside from the ground for some rooms are too far from it.
3. Students must stay calm in case there is an occurrence of earthquake.
4. A buddy-buddy system should be applied by the students.
5. Earthquake drills should be done quarterly to ensure that the students, teachers, and other
stakeholders are ready in case there is an earthquake.
