this simple earthquake drill will help school develop and effective emergency evacuation plan

1. SINILOAN FIRE STATION

2. EARTHQUAKE
Sudden unexpected and most destructive force of
nature.
It strike without warning and it may come with small
or large tremors.

3. the word earthquake
is used to describe any

— whether natural or
caused by humans

4. MAGNITUDE 6.5
EARTHQUAKE

5. • July 6, 2017
• MAGNITUDE 6.5
• Ormoc, Leyte
• 2 deaths
• 187 injured
• 707 houses damage

12. an area where large numbers of earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific
Ocean.

13. Philippines is vulnerable to almost all types of natural hazards because
of its geographical location

14. CAUSES…
• geological faults
• volcanic activity
• Landslides
• mine blasts
• And nuclear test

16. The key to effective disaster prevention is
planning:
> know the earthquake hazards in your area
> follow structural design & engineering
pratices when constructing a house or building
> evaluate the structural soundness of the
buildings & houses; strengthen if necessary

17. Prepare your homes, workplace, or
school
> Strap or bolt heavy furniture / cabinets to the
walls
> Check the stability of hanging objects like
ceiling fans & chandeliers
> breakable items, harmful chemicals &
flammable materials should be stored properly in
the lowermost secured shelves

18. >Familiarize yourself w/ exit routes
>Know where fire extinguishers,
first aid kits, alarms, and
communication facilities are
located.
>Prepare a handy emergency supply
kit with first aid kit, canned food,
and can opener, water, clothing,
blanket, battery-operated radio,
flashlights & extra batteries

19. STAY CALM!!!

>Move away from steep slopes
which maybe affected by
landslides
>if you're near shores move
quickly to higher grounds

21. If you're in a moving vehicle, STOP
and get out! Do not attempt to cross
bridges, overpasses, or flyovers
which may have been damaged.

22. Be prepared for aftershocks
Once the shaking stops take the
fastest & safest way out of the
building.
DON'T
... use elevators
...enter damaged buildings
...PANIC

23. CHECK
...yourself & others for injuries
...water & electrical lines for damages
..for spills of chemical, toxic &
flammable materials
... and control fires which may spread

24. PHASES OF AN EARTHQUAKE
DRILL
PHASE 1: ALARM
A pre-arranged signal such as siren/bell should be
known to all. During the drill, the siren/bell
indicates earthquake/shaking. The occupants
will be alerted by this signal.

25. PHASES OF AN EARTHQUAKE
DRILL
PHASE 2: RESPONSE
While the siren/bell is ongoing, everyone should
move away from windows, glass or light
fixtures. In this phase, everyone should perform
“duck, cover and hold” under desk tables or
chairs. Remain in this position until the
“shaking” stops.

26. DUCK,COVER & HOLD

DRILL
PHASE 3: EVACUATION
Once the “shaking” stops, the occupants should
evacuate the building and proceed using pre-
determined routes to go to identified evacuation
areas.

28. PHASES OF AN EARTHQUAKE
DRILL
PHASE 4: ASSEMBLY
At the designated evacuation areas, the occupants
must be grouped together according to clusters
or according to the buildings disaster plan.

29.  PHASE 5: HEADCOUNT/ROLL CALL
Account the total number of people, especially
the number of people employed in a particular
organization.

DRILL
PHASE 6: EVALUATION
An evaluation of the drill must be conducted to
identify problems encountered during the drill
and how this can be corrected in future
earthquake drills.
