Emergency Drill
Introduction
An earthquake drill is a fictitious situation created for the purposes of learning prevention measures "Prevention (extreme natural phenomena)") and civil protection in disaster situations during earthquakes.
In Chile
Evacuation drills must be carried out at least three times a year in all schools in Chile. They are called the “Francisca Cooper” Comprehensive School Safety and Evacuation Plan, also known as Operation Deyse. Its objective is efficient and effective security planning for the school community, adaptable to the particular realities of risks and resources of each educational establishment. This plan accustoms the population to calmly face an earthquake and evacuate in an orderly and safe manner.
In each coastal province, gigantic evacuation drills are organized periodically in case of a Tsunami alert.
Every year in different provinces and coastal cities, massive tsunami warning evacuation drills are carried out, where firefighters, public offices and social organizations participate. All schools in the area are coordinated and must participate...[1].
Although the cell phones of all people in the area are notified of the alert, the participation of civil society in the drills is optional. However, the massiveness of the event and the participation of all schoolchildren allows many families to benefit from the information.[2].
After decades of participation in drills, the Chilean population has very calm reactions to earthquakes. Coupled with confidence in the drastic anti-seismic building standards, people tend not to overreact. Videos are multiplying on social networks that show the stoicism of the Chilean population in the face of large earthquakes.[3].
in China
In China, the use of evacuation simulation software and mathematical models has contributed to the subsequent creation of databases of emergency behaviors of people inside buildings during earthquakes. This allows us to know more, for example, about human-environment interaction"). It is thus possible to analyze response times"), evacuation speed, the choice of the best emergency routes") and the design of classrooms") for emergency situations.[4].
