The Ministry of Health (MOH) actively participated in the 3rd Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED) on September 26, 2024, at 9:00 AM. The exercise, facilitated by the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management in Health (DRRM-H) Unit, was aimed at enhancing the preparedness and awareness of MOH staff regarding earthquake safety and response protocols.

The drill began with the sounding of alarms across the Ministry’s offices, signaling the start of the exercise. Employees were instructed to "Drop, Cover, and Hold On" — the recommended safety procedure during an earthquake. Participants then proceeded to designated evacuation areas in an orderly manner, following pre-established emergency exit routes.

MOH’s participation in the NSED underscores its commitment to ensuring the safety and preparedness of its workforce in the face of potential natural disasters. This initiative is part of a broader effort by the government to strengthen disaster resilience and promote a culture of safety in workplaces and communities nationwide.
