Be Vigilant!

Proper Preparedness and Response to Earthquakes


An earthquake is a sudden, rapid shaking of the ground. Earthquakes strike without a single warning. Any time, earthquake may occur or happens. No one can stop the coming of disasters like earthquakes. So the best thing to do is to be prepared and ready not only in some places but all countries in the world.

 

People who are used to earthquake drills are smart and know what to do when there is an earthquake. That's why we are conducting the "National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill" that is initiated by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (NDRRMC) to continuously instill to the public that earthquake preparedness should still be conducted amidst the pandemic.  This NEDC is very important and should not be missed to conduct.  Earthquake preparedness will save many people and other important things.

 


But even we conduct this earthquake drill, there are still many or some people who would not comply. The drill seems to be ignored a lot. Preparation are not taken seriously. They disagree with the call to prepare to prevent injury. You can see some were ain't really anticipating, talking to each other and complaining. Do you think in that way, they will learn what will they gonna do before, during  and after an earthquake and of  how will they save their lives? And then they will blame us that they were doomed when an earthquake really comes.

It is not wrong for you to talk to your companions every time you are conducting this kind of preparation but you should also remember what will happen when you do not obey and listen to what they are telling. In this kind of drills, Cooperation and solidarity should be needed so that incase an earthquake will come, we have the knowledge and we can save ourselves and others.
