Schools conduct different types of drills to prepare students and staff for emergencies.
Common types of drills include:
1. Fire Drill: Trains students to safely evacuate the school building in case of fire.
It teaches how to exit quickly, assemble at a safe location, and respond calmly.
2. Earthquake Drill: Prepares students to protect themselves during an earthquake.
It includes the “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” technique and safe evacuation procedures.
Other drills may include lockdown drills, flood drills, or first aid practice, depending on the school’s safety plan.
