Disaster Preparedness

Last Thursday, I was tasked to attend the disaster preparedness seminar as representative of our unit. I didn't want to attend it, at first, as I preferred working in our room. Was I glad I obediently followed my boss. I attended talks on fire, earthquake and tsunami rescue operations.

The following day, I was on sick leave. My boss covered day 2 of the seminar for the company newsletter. She told me this morning that it was too bad I wasn't around then as the speaker was so cute.

Today, there was a fire drill complete with real firemen, fire truck, extinguishers, smoke, "victims," search and rescue team, and my unit, the medical team. They required me to use the fire extinguisher and the fire hose.

Saying that I learned a lot in the seminar is an understatement.
