Earthquake can be compared to a nuclear bomb, because
anytime it will just explode, and the worse is no one is prepared to face it.
It can be a monster to every Filipinos. A monster that will change everything
in its surrounding that will leave a lifelong mark. We cannot escape the
possibility of experiencing this kind of disaster. So we should be strong and
resilient to encounter this and set every remedy to wage war on ignorance on
preparedness.
The Philippines
frequently experiences seismic and volcanic tremors because it lies along the
Pacific Ring of fire, which is an area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean where
a large number of earthquakes shook parts of the country. For us in academe, it
is best to prepared and ready for all eventualities, because no one can predict
when earthquake will happen. School cannot be closed in advance planning,
everyone in our school community can be prepared to react appropriately during
and after the occurrence of an earthquake.
Earthquake drills are observed all
places in the country because the possibility of having an earthquake is
inevitable. Duck, cover, hold are the first step to safety. Teachers in different
schools are instructed and the students should be familiarized with the sounds
they hear, signs they sign, and everything that is happening around them.
Earthquake drills is
monumental to our lives as students and because of that I consider that students
are prepared, especially in ameliorating the effects of disaster. But these are
useless if the students or participants of the drill take it seriously. What if
it was a real earthquake? Will they still laugh and act like children? Will
they still act sluggish and show that they don’t care?
The government pushes
students to be prepared for disasters especially earthquake, and as objective
of the citizens to be prepared and to oriented. We are mentally prepared and
emotionally stable. And as students, we should also show our sober-sided
attitude in these kinds of authorities so that when the real earthquake
strikes.
