Earthquake is one of the disastrous calamities that caused many fatalities and injuries. It cannot be
detected when and where it would happen. It is understood by being a natural phenomenon caused by the
constant movements of the earth’s crustal plates and due to climate change.

School-Based Earthquake Drill pursuant to the Division Memorandum order No. 0211 series 2022.
The drill started with the tapping of the bell where the pupils from kindergarten to grade six together

Ducking, Covering, Holding, watching out for falling objects and keeping calm and avoiding panic. Before the
