How do schools prepare for disasters?
Schools often have emergency plans to keep children safe during natural disasters, like the flash flood in Nepal. These plans include evacuation routes, designated safe zones, and communication strategies to inform parents. Regular drills help staff and students know exactly what to do when a real emergency strikes.
