UP Mindanao constituents participated in the 4th Quarter Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill on November 14, 2024, Thursday, at 2 p.m.
Constituents alerted were those occupying the Administration Building, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, Kalimudan Student Center, EBL Dormitory, the University Library, the CHSS Cultural Complex, the College of Science and Mathematics, the DC-UP Sports Complex, and the PPO Building.
The Incident Command System personnel dispersed in the various buildings were activated for the Drill. Vice-Chancellor for Administration Leo Manuel Estana served as Incident Commander.
Upon the siren signal at 2 p.m., constituents adopted the duck-cover-hold routine in their places.
Upon the second siren signal, occupants evacuated their buildings in an orderly manner to assemble in their designated open air evacuation areas.
The salvage teams entered the buildings to seek out “survivors” while constituents at the evacuation areas conducted an inventory of their colleagues.
Upon the return and report of the salvage teams, VC Estana issued the all-clear signal and end of the drill and issued instruction for the constituents to return to their work locations.
