MOCK DRILL FOR EARTHQUAKE PREPAREDNESS

On 12 Jul 2024, Army Public School NOIDA conducted a comprehensive mock drill focused on earthquake preparedness. The initiative aimed to enhance the safety and readiness of our students, faculty, and staff in the event of a seismic emergency.

The mock drill commenced promptly at 10:00 am, initiated with an announcement simulating earthquake tremors. Students and staff swiftly enacted the ‘Drop, Cover, and Hold On’ technique to protect themselves from potential hazards. Following this, evacuation procedures were immediately implemented, guiding everyone to designated safe zones identified during prior risk assessments. Teachers and designated emergency response personnel efficiently guided students through evacuation routes, emphasizing calmness and order throughout the process.

Post-drill, a debriefing session was conducted to evaluate the drill's effectiveness. The key takeaways included the need for continued practice and awareness-building among newer students and staff members. The drill allowed participants to practice swift and safe evacuation techniques, reinforcing the importance of preparedness and quick response in earthquake scenarios. The mock drill for earthquake preparedness at Army Public School NOIDA was a significant step towards enhancing our school's safety protocols.
