SDRRMC officers inducted, NSED conducted

Cauayan City National High School (CCNHS) demonstrated its commitment to ensuring the safety and preparedness of its students in the face of natural disasters by successfully conducting an earthquake drill on November 10th. The drill was part of the 4th quarter National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill and was conducted with the help of the newly-formed School’s Disaster and Risk Reduction Management Council (SDRRMC).

The SDRRMC played a crucial role in guiding the students and teachers during the evacuation process, ensuring that all students were safely evacuated from their classrooms to their designated evacuation areas. The team also collected data and organized the evacuation areas according to the number of students in each area, with the guidance of club adviser Joy Ann Talosig.

The safety of the students was prioritized during evacuations, and specific areas were designated for each grade level and staff group. Grade 7 students were instructed to gather at Area 1, located at the back gate, while Grade 8 students were directed to Area 2, situated in the open space in front of the gymnasium. Grade 9 students were directed to Area 3, which was set up from the hostel up to the flag pole, and Grade 10 students were directed to Area 4, located in front of the clinic. Administrative and non-teaching staff were directed to Area 5, situated in front of the administrative building, while STE and other program participants were directed to Area 6, located in the walkway of the STE compound. Finally, SPFL students were directed to gather at Area 7, which was located in the security building in front of the main gate.

The success of the drill was attributed to the efficient collection of data by the SDRRMC members, who carefully monitored the response of the students to the simulated earthquake and aftershocks signaled by sirens. Despite the large number of learners at CCNHS, all members of the SDRRMC reported in their respective areas, and classrooms without teachers were led by SDRRMC members following the proper drills. This ensured that all students were accounted for during the drill.

The CCNHS community recognizes the importance of disaster preparedness and is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all students.

The successful conduct of the earthquake drill serves as a testament to the effectiveness of the newly-formed SDRRMC and the school’s dedication to creating a safe and secure learning environment.
