Dear Jack,
With the approaching of National Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Day,our school carried out a series of events.And I would like to share some details.
Awareness events included professional seminars introducing theoretical knowledge and workshops teaching survival skills in time of emergency.I'm most impressed by an evacuation drill where we learned how to evacuate in order and protect ourselves when stuck in an earthquake.
The events are beneficial.They not only raise our awareness of selfprotection but also prepare us better for longterm disaster prevention and recovery.
Yours,
Li Hua
