The above photo was taken when a student was participating in the “cloud” exercise at home.

May 12 is the 12th China National Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Day. On May 10, the Zhenhai District Experimental Primary School carried out a “cloud” activity on improving self-care and self rescue capability for disaster prevention and mitigation, inviting all the teachers, students and parents of the Grade 5 of the school to participate. Considering the needs for epidemic prevention and control, the exercise venue was moved to students’ homes instead of the school, and the “cloud” exercise was carried out through video conference of the DingTalk.

At 9 a.m., the “online” activity for disaster prevention and mitigation started. All of a sudden, there’s “crackling” sound came from the collapse - the earthquake happened. All teachers, students and parents immediately covered their heads with thick books or boards and hide in relatively safe places, such as under desks, dining tables and bathroom corners and so on. Hearing the rapid earthquake alarm, everyone rushed out of their houses from the stairs to the ground safety zone. The whole process happened quickly but in an orderly manner.

“In the past, I only heard that my kid participated in an earthquake emergency escape drill in school, but today my kid and we all participate in it. With the new “cloud” technology, I not only find it fresh, but also experience the tense of “earthquake escape”. It's very meaningful.” One student’s parent said.

Apart from that, the rest classes of different grades of the school organized activities such as drawing family escape routes and watching education videos on disaster prevention and mitigation, so as to enhance the awareness of disaster prevention and mitigation of teachers, students and parents. The school will continue to attach importance to the life safety education of teachers and students, carry out similar activities, and constantly improve the safety awareness of teachers and students and their ability to respond to emergencies quickly.
