GUIDE for Disaster Preparedness
I. Inform the Principal, Teachers, and students before conducting an Earthquake and/or Fire Drill. II. Assign students or class to facilitate and observe to evaluate during the drill. III. Conduct of the drill. IV. Assembly and Head count at the designated evacuation area, students must be grouped together according to the class where they belong. Teachers should check and make sure all students are accounted for. V. An evaluation of the drill must be conducted to identify problems encountered during the drill and how this can be corrected in future earthquake drills. |

CONCEPTSGlossary of Terms
Continental volcanic arc mountains formed in part by igneous activity associated with subduction of oceanic lithosphere beneath a continent Convergent boundary a boundary in which two plates move toward each other, causing one of the slabs of the lithosphere to subduct beneath an overriding plate crust the outer portion of the earth Continental Crust the thick part of the Earth's crust,not located under the ocean Oceanic Crust the thin part of the Earth's crust located under the oceans Divergent boundary a region where the crustal plates are moving apart Earthquake vibration of Earth due to the rapid release of energy Fault a break in a rock along which movement has occurred Fracture any break in a rock in which no significant movement has taken place Geology the science that studies Earth Hot spot a concentration of heat in the mantle capable of creating magma Magma a mass of molten rock formed at depth, including dissolved gases and crystals Mid-ocean ridge a continuous mass of land with long width and height on the ocean floor Plates rigid sections of the lithosphere that move as a unit Plate tectonics a theory which suggests that Earth's crust is made up og plates that interact in various ways, thus producing earthquakes, mountains, volcanoes, and other geologic features Primary (P) wave the first type of seismic wave to be recorded in a seismic station Rocks consolidated mixture of minerals Secondary (S) wave second type of earthquake wave to be recorded in a seismic station Seismogram a record made by a seismograph Seismograph a device used to record earthquake waves Subduction an event in which a slab of rock thrusts into the mantle Transform fault boundary a boundary produced when two plates slide past each other Trench a depression in the seaflor produced by subduction process Volcanic Island a chain of volcanoes that develop parallel to a trench |
