An earthquake drill is one set of simulated emergency circumstances designed to test the ability of
school members to make the most appropriate decisions to ensure their safety. The school members
should understand the emergency response plan sufficiently in order to react appropriately during the
drill.
The purpose of a fire drill is to familiarize and re enforce proper evacuation routes and practices. The
goal is to have the proper actions be an automatic response whenever fire alarms sound, so that
everyone safely evacuates the area in an orderly manner.
A clean-up drive is an activity to raise environmental awareness and strengthen
collaboration among members of the community. The main purpose is to help each part of
the community stay in a clean surrounding that is beneficial to the residents. Usually the
clean-up drive is initiated by the barangay officials, school personnel, or an organization.
Clean-up drive has many benefits like prevention of climate change, promote waste
reduction, unclogging of drainage as prevention for flash floods, and other related geological
hazards and meteorological hazards.
