Colegio Americano Primary students are practicing earthquake evacuation procedures this week. During an earthquake, a designated teacheer will blow a whistle, and students walk calmly to the nearest Zona de Seguridad (Safety Zone) with their hands over their heads. The Safety Zones are located in areas where there are no trees, building, poles, etc. overhead. Some of the first graders had a problem staying on their feet during this drill.
