This afternoon we do have fire and earthquake drill that we almost forget.The emergency bell rang and eventually people went out using the fire exit.We are quite rattle and thinking what is the any emergency when the building guard said that it was just a drill.Now we remembered now that drill that gonna happen today lol. So we all went down,follow the necessary actions and watch their demonstration of the scenario that might happen during this kind of incident. Over all, everything ran smooth and we all got reminded again on the things that we should during this kind of incident.

We're from the Philippines and schools and offices usually do drill like that in order for us to know what we will do in case earthquake or fire happens.

Yeah it will runas smoith as today when it happens in actual but at least we are reminded on the thus that we should if that scenario happened. Alert and preparedness is recommended. This drill is also part of the city activities every year.

We all know that when Earthquake or fire stuck, it will not go as smoothly as the drill goes. Panic will always be there and anxiety if we could all go out or not. But, at least there will some who will be at a calm state and would lead the group into safety and already knows what to do when this happens.

Being alert and aware is needed during this scenario. At least drill like this could help somehow to us.

Good that you were to attend the fire and earthquake drill in your office , ardoy. As of me, i forgot and came later, because i offset my overtime the day before. Thus, when i arrive at the office, there were no people in every department. The guard told me they are all downstairs since they attended the fire and earthquake drill. Thu[s, i decided not to go down anymore, since in a while it will already be over.

Earthquake drill sounds serious. Every time we had a fire drill, whether it was at school or work, we missed it. The alarm was just never loud enough, or the teacher or boss heard loud, so we always stayed in the room and kept working. if there had been a real fire, we would have burnt for sure.
