Our country,
the Philippines, is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire which means it is more
prone to natural disasters. According to PHILVOCS (Philippine Institute of Volcanology
and Seismology), every year we experience about 2000 earthquakes though most of
it are not felt. Considering that we encounter numerous earthquakes, it is
imperative that we should be ready and to have a plan for us to be guided.
It is
necessary for us to partake and participate in the National Simultaneous
Earthquake Drill Program that is conducted by the government so that we would
know what to do if ever we encounter an earthquake. It is important that we are
educated and we are mindful to what we should do because a lot of people have
died and have been injured because they didn’t know what to do and what safety
precautions to follow.
If you ask
me, I think that these kinds of preparation should be done throughout
the country since we have no knowledge about when, where, or how strong an
earthquake will occur, it strikes without any warning. The purpose of
conducting earthquake drills is that to teach us how to react appropriately. We
need to always keep in mind the importance and significance for why we should
do earthquake preparedness activities since it will help us survive and
overcome this tragic event.

Nice layout of your blog. I also think that these kinds of preparation should be done throughout the country since we have no knowledge about when, where, or how strong an earthquake will occur, it strikes without any warning.
ReplyDeleteThis is the only article from you that is actually good. You never talk about the topic and always criticize the government. I am glad this article is different
ReplyDeleteI like how well organized your thoughts are. Considering that our country, Philippines, is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire where there is a huge number of earthquakes occurring from time to time, preparedness is just. Earthquakes cannot be predicted nor prevented but with the right preparation, it's damage can be minimized. May we all be prepared in case of emergency, stay safe!
