Earthquake preparedness is crucial, especially in educational settings where the safety and well-being of countless children are at stake. During school breaks, when the halls are quiet and the classrooms empty, it's the perfect time to plan and enhance your school's earthquake readiness.

School breaks provide a unique opportunity to review and update safety protocols without the interruption of daily school activities. Utilizing this time effectively can significantly improve your school's response to earthquakes, potentially saving lives and minimizing chaos.
