Earthquake and safety drills in schools

TEHRAN – The 26th National Earthquake Safety Exercise will be held on Wednesday in schools to raise students' preparedness and ensure their safety during earthquakes.

With a focus on students with special needs, the program also aims to teach students how to take appropriate actions in response to earthquakes in order to reduce casualties and damage in the aftermath of earthquakes, IRNA reported.

The International Institute of Earthquake and Earthquake Engineering began organizing nationwide training 25 years ago. Since the Iranian year 1395 (2016-2017), the institute, in cooperation with the Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, and the Iranian Red Crescent Society, has conducted training exercises across the country.

The current approach known as “Safe School, Resilient Community” provides the necessary training for students and teachers, as well as residents of the surrounding neighborhoods. It uses the capacity of schools as a base for emergency preparedness and crisis management in the neighborhood.

This year, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) will also collaborate to conduct earthquake training in schools.

Iran is highly vulnerable to seismic events, with earthquakes occurring frequently and leading to severe humanitarian crises.

The Iranian Plateau is located in a very seismically active region of the world and is known not only for its major catastrophic earthquakes but also for disasters related to natural hazards, especially earthquakes.

About 2 percent of the world's earthquakes occur in Iran, but more than six percent of the world's earthquake casualties during the 20th century were reported from Iranian earthquakes.

A total of 6,949 earthquakes were recorded across the country during the past calendar year (March 2023 – March 2024) according to the seismic networks of the Institute of Geophysics of the University of Tehran.

The Students' News Agency reported that most of the earthquakes occurred successively in northeastern Khorasan Razavi, southeastern Kerman, northwestern Azerbaijan, and southeastern Khorasan provinces.

Statistically, there were 2,268 earthquakes that had a magnitude of less than 2 on the Richter scale; 3685 were between 2 and 3; 796 were between the ages of 3 and 4; 181 were between the ages of 4 and 5; 22 were between the ages of 5 and 6; And 5 was between 6 and 7.
