3RD Quarter National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill

NARRATIVE REPORT
KINDERGARTEN
September 8, 2022

Earthquake is one of the famous disasters that caused people dies for injured. It 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 understood by being
natural phenomenon caused by the constant movemnets of the earth’s crustal plates and due
to climate change too.

Connectively, Hinigaran Elementary School-A pupils joined the first quarter simultaneous
earthquake drill inside our school campus. We followed the instructions given to us. At exactly
9:30 in the morning, when the first 30–second alarm, the children started to seek shelter and
protect themselves wherever they were situated. They also performed duck, cover and hold
under desks, tables or chairs and remained in such position until the shocking stop. And then,
on the    20 -second lull period, the children started to evacuate from the room/ building to the
designated evacuation areas. The evacuation area of kindergarten is in-front of our classroom
where there is an open space. The evacuation of the children would be in buddy –buddy and
they would not run; they would not shout but they walked faster than the normal walked they
had.

As they performed the drill, they felt as it happened in reality. They behaved well and
follow what their teacher instructed them.

The third alarm which is 15-second, this signifies the occurrence of an ‘aftershock’. The
children still in their evacuation area and right after the occurrence of the aftershock, the
teacher checked their children if there were any sustained injuries and if in case, they have
report it to the Disaster Action Team (DAT). And after checking and accounted all their pupils,
the teacher reports it to the DAT and the team leader gave the ‘ALL CLEAR SIGNAL’, this
signifies the termination of the earthquake drill. The children successfully returned to their
respective rooms.
