NDRRMC to hold nationwide earthquake drill on March 12

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRMMC) announced that it would hold a nationwide simultaneous earthquake drill on March 12, 2020 at 2 p.m.

On its website, the NDRRMC reminded citizens participating in the drill to remember the "Duck, Cover and Hold" maneuver -- the three important earthquake safety tips.

The scheduled event would be the first simultaneous earthquake drill during 2020's first quarter. — Angelica Yang/DVM, GMA News
