Set the alarm for 1:01 p.m.

Web alarm clock for 1:01 p.m.

You are watching the clock at 1:01 pm, waiting for the signal to begin your institution’s earthquake drill. Keep the alarm visible while you check where to move, who needs assistance, and which exit your group will use. With 2:00 pm still ahead, the alert can mark the assigned moment without pulling your attention away from the preparations.

Your earthquake drill alarm depends on this browser session remaining active. If you close the tab or browser, or let your phone sleep, the alarm may not sound when the drill is due. That could leave you relying on someone else’s signal or noticing the time late. Keep the page open, prevent the screen from sleeping, and leave the volume high enough to hear over midday activity in the building.

Once the earthquake drill is finished, avoid letting a 1:01 pm alert turn into a long afternoon disruption. If you normally take a short nap after lunch, decide beforehand whether the exercise leaves enough time for it. Set a separate wake-up time, keep the room comfortably shaded against the Philippine midday sun, and allow a few quiet minutes after the drill before settling down.
