II. NARRATIVE REPORT

2020 3rd Quarter National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill Narrative

Report

Natural disaster can strike at any time, even in the middle of

pandemic. Filipinos witnessed this as several areas in the country
suffered earthquakes on top of dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic. In
August, a magnitude 6.6 earthquake struck Masbate, living one man
dead, many others injured and several buildings damaged. In order to
help Buga National High School teachers prepare for earthquake during
the pandemic, we participated on the 3 rd Simultaneous Earthquake Drill
to master the different precautionary measures when earthquake strikes
under the new normal situation.

We have always endured the hardships of a hostile environment. We

have continually sought survival against typhoons, floods,
earthquakes, epidemics, fires and other calamities. The possible
dangers from these natural hazards cannot be ignored and neither can
man made accidents of disaster proportions. This is why 24 hour
preparations are necessary and important. One of the best ways to
prevent injuries and loss of life and properties because of these
disasters is being aware of the things to do during these instances;
this is the reason why we need to educate and update our teachers and
staff through this drills and orientation. The Disaster Risk and
Preparedness Plan aim to:
1. Prevent loss of life by rescue and removal of people to places
of safety,
2. Prevent needless suffering of people,
3. Protect life and property; and
4. Minimize major damage during disaster and calamities.
At the end of the orientation the students will be able to:
1. Aware of the disaster that is usually occurring in our country
2. Learn the basic preparation in case of disaster
3. Formulate a dynamic and feasible plan for the implementation
4. Conduct multi-hazard drills (Earthquake and Fire drills) under
the new normal situation.
 The Steps in Planning an Earthquake Drill was discussed to the
learners, teachers and faculty and staff by Mr. Joseph P. Cagcon,
Safety Planning Coordinator of Buga National High School. These are:

1. The Alarm phase – during this phase teachers are alerted by a

loud warning device or the long ringing of school bell. This must be a
pre – arranged or known by the students so that the response will be
immediate.

2. The Response phase – while the warning sound is going on,

everyone should perform the “duck”, “cover” and “hold”. They should
make sure to move away from windows, glass or light fixtures, which
pose a serious threat to the student if it should break or get loose.
If there is no cover available then the student should crouch and try
to protect his head.

3. The Evacuation phase – once the shaking stops, the disaster

commander shall declare “clear” and “out”, advising the teachers and
faculty and staff to vacate the classroom and proceed to the designed
evacuation area.

4. The Assembly phase – at the assembly point the evacuees must

be group in order.

5. The Head Count phase – otherwise called roll call phase – this
will determine if everyone is present.

6. The Evaluation – in this phase the school identifies the snags

in the drill, problem areas or potential problem areas and then can
further aim to rectify these problems for a future earthquake drill.

Before the actual drills started, the DRRM Coordinator conducted a short
orientation prior to the activity. He disseminated the information about the
occurrence of earthquake as well as the needs to carry out a drill to enhance
the teachers and learners’ awareness on the safety measures before, during and
after the said disaster. He made-mentioned of the guidelines for the
drills and also pointed out the possible evacuation area in the school.

MAJOR PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED

Only teachers scheduled for on-site reporting participated on
