OBSERVANCE OF THE NATIONAL DISASTER

CONSCIOUSNESS MONTH CONDUCT OF EARTHQUAKE

DRILLTheme: “Pag Alerto, Malayo sa Peligro.”

July 23, 2008

I. INTRODUCTION

We can’t avoid natural disaster to occur but we can guard ourselves unhurt if we are ready. The San Jose Elementary School is alarmed by the tragedies that had happened to different places devastated by natural calamities and also frightened with the spreading news in text and even in internet messages and blogs… thus implementing the Observance of the National Disaster Consciousness Month: Conduct of Earthquake Drill. This is the same as the Disaster Preparedness Campaign: Earthquake Drill simultaneously in schools.

San Jose Elementary Schools played a part in the simultaneous earthquake drill with the PTCA, parents, Barangay Officials, teachers and pupils in attendance on July 23, 2008.

San Jose Elementary School is very much aware of the significance of the program prioritizing the welfare of the pupils and teachers. The Principal instructed the teachers and pupils to pray that no horrible earthquake will harm the Philippines.

II. ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Every morning of July before the conduct of the earthquake drill after the flag ceremony, pupils and teachers and even parents in attendance were instructed what to do in case of a disaster like an earthquake.

On July 23, just after the flag ceremony an awful sound blurted as a signal that the earth is shaking stronger and stronger. There is an earthquake shouted by the Principal. Everybody sat down and docked themselves in the ground.

After a while when the sound is ended, the pupils and parents entered the Science Room where the Culminating Program of the activity will happen. (Please see the attached program.)

When Mr. Velicaria was given his part in the program, he instructed a pupil to beat the flagpole with a stone hard and strong and the Principal announces that an after shock is taking place.

Again, another drill was done successfully.

The activity was dramatically done through our sound system, modern cell phones and digital camera.

The PTCA President gave a wonderful message of love in times of crises.

The Barangay Captain closed the program with shared inspirations to all present.

In summary, drills were successful; nobody hurts because the routines were systematic and everybody was cooperative during the activity.
