School students are evacuating the class room in the safety position during earthquake simulation. They are taught to evacuate to the pre-arranged 'safety place' - an open place where individuals can be accounted for

Volunteers provide 'injured' students with first-aid. Volunteers live in the local area and demonstrate to schools the advantages of preparedness and the value of having well-trained personnel within the school community

Students are taught to take shelter beneath solid objects such as their desks during an earthquake as seen in this earthquake simulation

This earthquake simulation includes a demonstration of what happens when first-aid is insufficient. Volunteers load severely injured students into a pre-arranged ambulance which takes them away for further treatment
