Earthquakes strike without warning, life-protecting initiatives and action must be taken immediately at the first indication of ground shaking. There will not be time to think through what to do. All earthquake preparedness measures, earthquake drills are essential. This day, March 10, 2022 9:00 AM LGU-Loon joined the National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED) at Municipal Hall Complex
The main purpose is to help staff and employees learn how to REACT immediately and appropriately and determine the following:
– What dangers to expect during an earthquake.
– What quake-safe actions to take during an earthquake.
– How to conduct office/department drills.
