NARRATIVE REPORT ON NATIONWIDE SIMULTANEOUS SCHOOL-

BASED EARTHQUAKE DRILL

In line with the campaign of the Department of Education (DepEd) in equipping

the school children with the knowledge, proper attitude and skills on what to do in case
of a natural disaster like earthquake, Makinabang Elementary School conducted the
simultaneous school-based earthquake drill on August 7, 2019 at exactly o’clock in the
morning. The drill was carried out simultaneously and smoothly. All grade levels
occupied the designated area for them based on the school evacuation plan.

Before the actual drill, Mrs. Haydee May M. Balingit, the school DRR Coordinator
undertook an orientation. He disseminated the information about the occurrence of
earthquake as well as the needs to carry out a drill to enhance the pupil’s awareness on
the safety measures before, during and after an earthquake.

The bell’s sound blurted for one minute as a sign that an earthquake is currently
happening. Everybody in their respective classes ducked and covered themselves
under their armchairs and tables. After that, the teachers led their advisory classes in
heading to the designated evacuation area located outside their classrooms. They were
grouped together according to the class where they belonged. Then, all classroom
teachers did a headcount to make sure that all pupils are participating on the said
activity.

In summary, the drill was successfully implemented and nobody was injured
because the routines were systematic and everybody was cooperative during the
activity.
