 FIRE EXTINGUISHER
• is an active fire protection device
used to extinguish or control
small fires, often in emergency
situations.
• It is not intended for use on an
out-of-control fire, such as one
which has reached the ceiling;
• Endangers the user or otherwise
requires the expertise of a fire
department

EARTHQUAKE SAFETY
Earthquake
• a sudden and violent shaking of
the ground, sometimes causing
great destruction, as a result of
movements within the earth’s
crust or volcanic action
PHASE OF AN EARTHQUAKE
DRILL
 PHASE 1 - ALARM
• SIREN / BELL RINGS FOR 1 ONGOING “GROUND SHAKING
MINUTE OR EARTHQUAKE
 PHASE 2. RESPONSE
During the “SHAKING” perform Note:
“DUCK, COVER AND HOLD” Remain in that position until “SHAKING
STOPS”
 PHASE 3. EVACUATION
• After the “SHAKING”

• All building occupants evacuate,

following pre-determined routes,
to the EVACUATION AREAS
 PHASE 4. ASSEMBLY
• At the designated evacuation
area, the “evacuees” must be
grouped together
PHASE 5 - HEAD COUNT
• TEAM LEADERS (TEACHERS,
COUNSELORS, SAFETY OFFICERS)
should check and make sure all
“evacuees” are accounted for.
PHASE 6 - EVALUATION
• An evaluation of the drill must be conducted to identify problem
encountered during the drill and how this can be corrected in future
earthquake drills.
IMPORTANCE OF DRILLS
• DRILLS BUILD MUSCLE MEMORY
• INCREASE PREPAREDNESS
• REDUCE PANIC DURING ACTUAL
EMERGENCIES
PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSE TO EMERGENCIES
• The stress response, or “fight or flight” response is the emergency
reaction system of the body.
• It is there to keep you safe in emergencies.
• The stress response includes physical and thought responses to your
perception of various situations.
• When the stress response is turned on, your body may release
substances like adrenaline and cortisol.
