NARRATIVE REPORT ON THE 3RD QUARTER

NATIONWIDESIMULTANEOUS EARTHQUAKE DRILL (NSED)

As quoted by (W.H.O.), “a disaster can be defined as any occurrences

that cause damage, ecological disruption, and loss of human life,

deterioration of health services on a scale, sufficient to warrant an

extraordinary response from outside the affected community or area”.

With this, it is necessary that planning, and preparedness,

prevention, mitigation, response, relief and recovery are critical to tackle in

order to reduce the negative impacts and effects of such events among

individuals. During these trying moments, school offers safety and shelter to

those displaced by disaster.

Since the core of DRRM is to save lives and properties, therefore, it

is a challenge accepted by all of us in the DepEd family to provide safe

teaching-learning facilities and hazard-free environment to the school

children.

Last September 7, 2023, 2:00 pm., our pupils and teachers of

Catungan 3rd and 4th Elementary School with the prodigious guidance of

our principal, Alma Bella I. Bautista along with the DRRM Coordinator

conducted the earthquake drill in pursuant to RA 10121, preparedness and

mitigation which are the key and strategies in strengthening the skills and

knowledge of our personnel teaching and non-teaching and most especially

our pupils to reduce the disaster risks and that there is a need to implement

an earthquake drill nationwide.

The aim of the simultaneous earthquake drill is to test the efficiency

and usefulness of the preparedness response and recovery plans, systems,

and policies of the school and to test the coordination and communication

mechanism of the pupils including school personnel during disaster.

The drill started at 2:00 pm. and the evacuation was executed within

5 minutes, the whole drill last or ended at 2:30 (30 minutes) including the

orientation of the DRRM team. Pupils were very participative, and all were

prepared, responsive, and intact.

Finally, the drill was very successful and ended smoothly, it was a

great opportunity for every participant that refreshes their knowledge about

disaster and will make them safe and sound for emergency situations.
