This document outlines mandatory unannounced earthquake and fire drills that all public schools in the Philippines must conduct. As the Philippines is prone to natural disasters due to its location in the Pacific Ring of Fire, these drills are intended to familiarize students and staff with escape routes and proper actions during emergencies. The drills must be conducted every first and third week of each month, led by school heads and disaster coordinators. Schools in high-risk areas must also create specific plans for responding to major earthquakes. Private schools are encouraged to adopt similar policies.
