SM Supermalls
actively participated in the
third quarter Nationwide
Simultaneous Earthquake
Drill (NSED) held last September 7.The actual earthquake drill, participated
by shoppers, tenants, and
employees, took place
during regular mall operating hours. Evacuation and
rescue drill simulations
were carried out to enhanced the mallโs Emergency Response Team
preparedness and coordination among tasked
units. Working hand in
hand, Medical as well as
Search & Rescue Team
gave first aid treatment to a
simulated trauma victim at
the mall. Staged at exactly

of an earthquake to raise
public awareness about
the proper emergency response during and after
this hazard. Employees
and tenants were evacuated to the open spaces
of the mall. In addition to
