During the drill, all personnel in the office promptly executed the "Duck, Cover, and Hold" protocol, simulating a real-time response to a ground-shaking scenario. After these initial safety steps, staff efficiently evacuated the building and regrouped in a designated safe open area.

This quarterly exercise is a crucial component of nationwide preparedness efforts, aimed at building resilient communities that can effectively respond to tremors and other emergencies. Since natural disasters can strike without warning, such drills are essential in ensuring that DILG Bataan personnel are prepared to protect themselves and serve the public in times of crisis.
