๐๐จ PREPARE. PRACTICE. PROTECT. | THIRD QUARTER NATIONWIDE SIMULTANEOUS EARTHQUAKE DRILL 2026 ๐จ๐
โPreparedness saves lives.โ
An earthquake can happen anytime, anywhere, and without warning. In times like these, knowing what to do, where to go, and how to respond can make a life-saving difference.
The Senior Red Cross Youth (SRCY) โ WMSU ILS HS joins the Third Quarter Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED) this September 8 and 10, 2026, at 2:00 PM, as we strengthen our preparedness, awareness, and readiness in facing possible earthquake hazards.
This nationwide drill serves as an important reminder that disaster preparedness is not simply about participating in an activityโit is about developing habits and knowledge that we can rely on when an actual emergency occurs. Through practice, we become more familiar with the proper safety procedures and learn how to remain calm and alert even in stressful situations.
During an earthquake, remember the three essential steps:
๐ป DUCK โ Drop to the ground to prevent yourself from falling or being knocked down.
๐ก๏ธ COVER โ Take cover under a sturdy table or desk, protecting your head and neck.
โ HOLD โ Hold on firmly and stay in place until the shaking stops.
As members of the Senior Red Cross Youth, we believe that preparedness is a shared responsibility. Every student, teacher, staff member, and member of the community has an important role in building a safer and more resilient environment. A few minutes of preparation and practice today can make a significant difference when seconds truly matter.
Let this drill be more than just a routine. Let it remind us that readiness begins with awareness, safety begins with preparation, and resilience begins when we work together.
So, WMSU ILS HS, let us participate actively, stay attentive, follow safety protocols, and most importantly, take preparedness seriously. โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
Because when the ground shakes, we should not be left wondering what to do.
We prepare. We practice. We protect.
We respond with courage. We act with discipline. We serve with compassion. ๐จโค๏ธ
