Earthquake drills are practice exercises designed to prepare individuals and communities for the occurrence of an earthquake. During these drills, participants learn how to respond quickly and safely, such as taking cover under sturdy furniture, staying away from windows, and following evacuation routes. These drills are often conducted in schools, workplaces, and public spaces to ensure that everyone knows what to do in case of an emergency. Regular practice helps reduce panic and confusion, making it easier for people to protect themselves and others during a real earthquake.
