The activity also provided an opportunity for participants to familiarize themselves with safety measures, designated evacuation areas, and the proper actions to undertake before, during, and after an earthquake.
The activity highlighted the importance of inter-agency cooperation, effective communication, and readiness in responding to unforeseen disasters. Through this initiative, personnel were further equipped with the necessary knowledge and practical experience to ensure the safety and protection of lives and property during earthquake-related emergencies.
