On March 10, 2022, Capiz State
University Burias Campus, spearheaded by Prof. Ben Francis A. Osias, National

conducted the First Quarter Online Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill
(NSED) in collaboration with Bureau of Fire Protection Mambusao, Municipal
Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, CAPSU Burias faculty and staff,
and SSC Officers.
To remind everyone about the proper
responses to an earthquake and to enhance earthquake preparedness through the
regular conduct of drills and exercises among the line agencies, LGUs
When asked about the
primary objective of NSED, Prof. Osias said that “The purpose of NSED is to
strengthen the mechanism for national and regional coordination, intensify
local communities’ earthquake preparedness, and increase the commitment of
every individuals in building safe communities.”
The Nationwide
Simultaneous Earthquake Drill raises awareness concerning the preparations and
safety measures before, during, and after earthquakes as well as to continue the
participations in initiatives that promote earthquake safety and disaster resilience.
“You have to guarantee the safety of yourselves and your space by
identifying the hazards, moving your household items to a safe place, being ready ahead of time by creating a
disaster plan, deciding on how you will communicate in an emergency, and
organizing and placing disaster supplies at convenient locations. Always
remember, preparedness starts with a plan,” Prof. Osias added.
As earthquakes happen without warning, NSED encourages everyone to take actions to prepare, survive, and minimize their impact through learning what to do before, during, and after an earthquake.
