Schools can prepare for earthquakes by conducting regular drills and emergency preparedness exercises, ensuring that all staff and students are familiar with the school's emergency plan, and having an emergency kit on hand with supplies such as flashlights, first aid kits, and water. Schools should also ensure that all furniture and equipment is securely fastened to the walls and floors, and that all exits are clearly marked and easily accessible. Additionally, schools should have a plan in place for communicating with parents and guardians in the event of an earthquake.
