In general, Japan has risk in a relation to earthquake. Accordingly, Japanese educational institutions have practiced earthquake drills. However, Sophia has not done any drills. Many people in Sophia think the school desperately plan out earthquake drills. Therefore, during the discussion we did the drill. Indeed, many people recognized some problems such as classroom environment (small desks), disorganized shelter information, and mistranslated instructions. But the good thing of drill is making us more prepared and realistic.
After 3.11 multiple disasters, Korea also realized some risks of earthquake. So it also arranged the drill, but fellow citizens did not take it so seriously. They thought that was wasting time and energy. They believe earthquake will never hit Korean peninsula. Unfortunately, occurrence of earthquake has become more frequent. I think Korean government officially has to make it mandatory for its safety.
In South Korea, every month of 15th or once a month, we had to participate civil defense drill. City halls turn on sirens for few minutes. As soon as we hear the sound, we are not allowed to go outside even driving is not permitted. Since Korea is divided and still in war, the government sensitively take care of national defense. Attacks from North Korea is unpredictable. So we practice to be in war-mode. By doing this drill, we discover how to behave during the war for instance, be calm, stay with many people, and so on.
