PREPARING FOR EARTHQUAKES
To be prepared for an earthquake or any hazardous events, The
Department of Education, Office of Civil Defense and the National Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Council implemented NSED or the National Simultaneous
Earthquake Drill.
The
NDRRMC first proposed this and the DepEd and OCD supported this and NSED
started in February 21,2019. Different cities and provinces from Luzon,
Visayas, and Mindanao are going to participate in this said program.
They
implemented this program to be prepared and so that they will know what to do.
Just like the basic steps, Duck, Cover, and Hold.
This
program is very important because, when an actual quake happens, responders
from different agencies will be doing their respective role and they should be
ready and knowledgeable of their responsibilities to avoid problems and to
immediately respond to those who were injured.
