This made me think one should almost practice like a fire alarm drill we do in grade schools. Set a random timer and when you get the alert react. Have it go off randomly some days so you can practice getting under a desk or in a doorway as fast as possible.
- magnusmundus 5y agoIn the years after the disaster of 1999 [1], we used to do exactly that in Turkey in the 2000s, couple times a year. I'm not sure when/why they stopped. On a not-too-closely-related note, the last time I heard of one was in 2013, when a group of riot police forcibly dispersed a civilian drill. This was a few months after the Gezi Park protests. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_%C4%B0zmit_earthquake https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_%C4%B0zmit_earthquake

- FredFS456 5y agoHaving attended grade school in BC, Canada, we used to do exactly that. Someone would come on the PA system to rattle some rocks in a jar and all students would duck under the desks until the 'earthquake' subsided, then count to 60 and quietly file out to the field.
