Reinforcing its commitment to ensuring a safe and disaster-resilient learning environment, Iloilo Science and Technology University (ISAT U), through its Safety, Security, Environmental, and Disaster Mitigation Management Office (SSEDMMO), conducted its 4th Quarter Earthquake Drill on November 5, 2026, at 2:00 p.m.
The activity formed part of the University’s continuing initiatives to strengthen disaster preparedness, enhance emergency response capabilities, and equip the university community with the knowledge and skills necessary to respond appropriately during earthquake emergencies.
The drill provided an opportunity for university personnel and students to reinforce their understanding of established earthquake safety protocols, particularly the proper execution of the “Duck, Cover, and Hold” procedure and the importance of following safety instructions during an earthquake.
It also highlighted the importance of effective coordination among designated emergency response personnel, whose roles are vital in ensuring the orderly implementation of evacuation procedures and the safety of students, faculty members, and non-teaching personnel.
Beyond compliance with disaster preparedness initiatives, the activity underscored the University’s recognition that preparedness, awareness, and collective responsibility are essential in minimizing risks and protecting lives during emergencies.
Through SSEDMMO, ISAT U continues to promote a culture of safety and preparedness, ensuring that its campuses remain vigilant, responsive, and better equipped to face potential disasters and other emergency situations.
