Earthquake drills are important to take part of, especially the national simultaneous earthquake drill. The drill seeks to strengthen the mechanism for national and regional coordination, as well as the interoperability of key players. It also aims to intensify local communities’ earthquake preparedness and increase the commitment of local government units in building safe communities. “Our safety does not rest in the hands of one person or government agency alone. It rests in our very hands as we put them together on the concerted effort of building safer, adaptive and resilient communities.” Said Sec Voltaire Gazmin.
With the National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill being implemented, there will be an assurance about the people’s safety. A wise man once said that failing to plan is planning to fail and this failure is not just any failure but it can cause the lives of many innocent people.
