The third annual “Shake Drill” kicked off on Friday (14 July) with rescuers and volunteers simulating emergency scenarios in the aftermath of a major earthquake and testing whether they could act fast enough through the daily calamity that is Metro Manila traffic.
\r\nMetropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) chair Danny Lim said the drill—which this year will be conducted for 4 days in different parts of the capital—factored in road congestion as one of the challenges facing responders. |
