Set the alarm for 4:47 p.m.

Web alarm clock for 4:47 p.m.

You have just woken up for the quarterly rescue team drill, so set the alarm for 4:47 pm before doing anything else. That leaves a short window to get fully alert, change into your drill clothes, check your radio, and be ready when the group assembles around 5:00 pm.

Your drill depends on the alarm sounding while you are still preparing, so keep the browser active and make sure the phone or computer stays awake. If the screen is likely to sleep before 4:47 pm, adjust its sleep setting or use a separate backup. A closed browser page or sleeping device can prevent the rescue team drill alarm from sounding, which could leave you rushing to join the group.

Getting ready for an outdoor rescue team drill in the Philippine afternoon means allowing for warm, humid air. Drink some water, choose light clothing beneath any required gear, and keep a small towel nearby. If the drill begins close to 5:00 pm, check whether the assembly area is shaded or exposed, and give yourself enough time to walk there without hurrying through the heat.
