occurrence of natural calamities in our country. The Department of Education in cooperation with the
National Disaster Risk and Reduction Management Council (NDRRMC) take some actions to achieve the
said goal through the conduct of drill like the earthquake drill.

2018. This activity seeks to intensify and level – up earthquake preparedness of the school . It also aims to
generate the highest level of awareness among our pupils and the teachers on disaster risk reduction concerns.
Tingloy Central School through its staff and pupils answered the call for the conduct of the earthquake
drill by Mrs. Jean H. Manalo, School Science Coordinator. She shared her knowleledge on what to do
during an earthquake. At the end of the lecture and with the cooperation of the teachers, the pupils
were sent to their respective rooms with the reminder that an actual drill will be made and so necessary
precautions were instructed. Continuous ringing of the bell was heard and pupils’ reactions were
observed.

Based on the observation during and after the drill, the following problems were encountered, The pupils
were properly oriented, there were still some of them who did not take the drill seriously.
