cannot be detected when and where it would be happened to anyone. This is mostly
happened in places where people are hanging around and working. Earthquake is

earthquake. These were the Ducking, Covering and Holding, Watching out for falling objects,
and Keeping calm and Avoiding panic. Before the actual drills, Mr. Irec L. Bernarte, school
DRRMC Coordinator conducted an orientation during the flag ceremony. He disseminated

preparedness should be taught well to the pupils and should be followed strictly during drill.”
