    A safety drill is practiced to prepare people for emergencies through field experience. It allows people to practice orderly evacuation and inspection for code issues. Elements needed include management commitment, worksite analysis, hazard prevention/control, employee training, alarms, and safe evacuation areas. Drills are effective as they educate communities on emergency responses, as seen after a past disaster when many were unprepared. A recent volcanic drill identified students walking casually instead of cooperating; suggestions include better student participation, clearer safety instructions, and designated meeting points after evacuation. Fire drills in schools are conducted through alarm activation, evacuation, and building inspection to practice safe and compliant emergency response.

    Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction – Research Assignment

    Answer the following questions. Your output will be used in your mini task.

    1. What is safety drill?


    A safety drill is a drill that is practiced to prepare people for an emergency. Practice
    and perfect a single emergency response. It allows people to have a field experience.
    include alarm activation to ensure fire protection and reliability, along with an orderly,
    disciplined evacuation, followed by a thorough inspection of the building to
    immediately rectify any code related issues. 
    2. What are the elements/materials needed in conducting safety drills?
    a. Management Commitment and People’s Involvement. The manager or
    management team leads the way by setting up the policy, assigning and supporting
    responsibility, setting a positive example, and involving employees.
    b. Worksite Analysis. The worksite is continually analyzed to identify all existing and
    potential hazards.
    c. Hazard Prevention and Control. Methods to prevent or control existing or potential
    hazards are administered and maintained.
    d. Training for Employees, Supervisors, and Managers. Managers, supervisors, and
    employees are trained to understand and deal with worksite hazards.
    e. Loud Alarm
    f. Safe Place to Go

    3. Are drills effective in preparing the community for a particular disaster? Justify your answer.
    Conducting drills in a community are effective since most of the people might not know
    what to do or where to go when a disaster comes. Just like last January 12, not
    everyone knew what to do and where to go at that instance.
    4. In a drill conducted last February 19, Wednesday, identify malpractice that you have noticed (if
    there’s any) from the recent volcanic eruption drill? Give at least three suggestions for
    improvement.
    1. The students weren’t cooperative, they were just casually walking.

    5. How fire drill in schools is conducted? Explain your answer using a diagram.
