๐ข ADVISORY: Conduct of the Third Quarter 2026 Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED)
In accordance with DepEd Memorandum OM-OUGOPS-2026-04-08938, all DepEd offices and schools will observe the Third Quarter Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED) on Thursday, September 10, 2026, at 2:00 PM.
Please take note of the following guidelines, as the schedule coincides with the Learnersโ Wellness Break and the DepEd In-Service Training (INSET):
๐ฉโ๐ FOR LEARNERS:
Since learners are on Wellness Break, physical campus-wide evacuation is not required. Instead, we encourage our students to practice the "Duck, Cover, and Hold" protocol at home with their families.
๐ฉโ๐ซ FOR TEACHING & NON-TEACHING PERSONNEL:
In light of Memorandum Circular No. 135 suspending work in government offices, personnel are not required to physically report to schools or offices for the drill. However, everyone is still encouraged to practice the "Duck, Cover, and Hold" protocol at home with their families.
Let us all take part in ensuring our disaster preparedness! ๐ก๏ธ
