In compliance to the memorandum issued by the Department of Education re: National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill; and in line with the month-long celebration of the National Disaster Coordinating Council which is National Disaster Prevention and Consciousness Month, the Davao City Coordinating Council spearheaded an Earthquake Drill for all public and private schools in the city. Our school is privileged to participate in this very remarkable act. This is in accordance with the guidelines prescribed in the DepEd Disaster Management Operations Manual.
The objectives are:
- to ensure the safety of the school occupants during and after a damaging earthquake;
- To help school administrators and their disaster action groups to design a specific response plan of the school for earthquake;
- To train students, faculty members and non-teaching personnel on how to practice proper action and response during earthquake; and
- To test various elements of the response plan designed by the School Disaster Management Committee.
On July 12, 2011 at 12:30 PM, the School Disaster Action Team headed by Leandro C. Lucero conducted a briefing on the mechanics of the earthquake drill which was attended by the teaching force of this school. He convened the teams composed of Fire Fighting Team, Information and Warning Team, Rescue and First Aid Team, Security and Traffic, Evacuation and Transport Team, and Damage Control and Salvage Team. Earthquake drill scenario was the main aim of the meeting.
Series of earthquake drills were carried out by the school during the designated time for practice.
On July 13, 2011 at exactly 9:00 AM, a national simultaneous earthquake drill was conducted and this school was pleased to be a part of this event. The parents and canteen staff participated in the evacuation procedure. The teachers and students did their best to portray their roles especially the proper action and response during earthquakes.
After the drill, an evaluation was done by the School DAT. The team congratulated the participants for the job well done. Several suggestions were given by the council to improve the students’ and teachers’ performance on the emergency evacuation procedures and to ensure a safe and orderly evacuation in order to prevent loss of lives and injuries especially if real earthquakes will occur.
Another earthquake drill was conducted on September 7, 2011. Based on the evaluation of the DAT, the school's overall performance had improved a lot, but there were still suggestions from the evaluators. Among them were:
- Teachers should be the last one to go out of the classroom to ensure that all occupants of the room are evacuated.
- Look for other evacuation area aside from the ground for some rooms are too far from it.
- Students must stay calm in case there is an occurrence of earthquake.
- A buddy-buddy system should be applied by the students.
- Earthquake drills should be done quarterly to ensure that the students, teachers, and other stakeholders are ready in case there is an earthquake.
The School DAT planned to conduct another earthquake drill on December 2, 2011.
