YU conducts earthquake preparedness and response rehearsal



ON 2 September, the Uni­versity of Yangon held its first rehearsal for earth­quake preparedness and response, organized by the Myanmar Earth­quake Committee (MEC) in collaboration with the Federation of Myanmar Engineering Societies (Fed MES) and the Uni­versity itself.

 

During the event, students and staff re­ceived training on safe evacuation procedures during emergencies, as well as how to perform first aid and conduct timely rescue operations.

 

Following the re­hearsal, university offi­cials, MEC represent­atives, and students participated in a review session to discuss the strengths and weakness­es of the exercise they had just completed.

 

Additionally, a dis­cussion took place, fo­cusing on the necessary preparations and re­sponses needed to ensure effectiveness in future emergencies, such as earthquakes. — MT/ZS
