The first step in preparedness is to be aware. To create awareness among young learners and prepare them for any possible emergency situation, an Earthquake Mock Drill was organised by Delhi Public School, Gangtok for the students of Classes I and II of the Foundation Wing.
The students participated in a simulation exercise, giving them an introduction to key safety protocols and evacuation procedures. They were taught to protect themselves during an earthquake shake-out, calmly evacuate, and move together to a safe assembly place.
The students got a chance to practise the safety rules and gain confidence and discipline through the drill. Most importantly, it made them realise that preparation and readiness can be critical in an emergency.
