A rescuing simulation of disaster, like an earthquake, can be really important for us

especially when we get a real experience of it. When my company gave me a chance to attend
the simulation, I thought it would not be very useful but it was wrong. Six months after getting
the simulation, I trapped in an earthquake at my office. By the time everybody got their lunch
time, I was doing my duty as a receptionist at the fourth floor. Suddenly, I felt a great vibration
which vibrated the building including all of the things in it. Then, I tried to do several rescuing
steps quickly that I have ever gotten from the simulation.

When everybody realized that it was an earthquake, they became panic and I was. Even
though I knew that the first important thing to do was not to be panic, but it was not easy to do it.
Moreover, everyone around me was panic. Then, I took a deep breath slowly and it worked that I
was not panic anymore, so I could remember the next step that I have to do that was looking for
any shelter to cover my self.

I was sitting on my chair, and then I moved to under my table that I used for the shelter. I
did it because I was sure my table was sturdy enough to endure everything that could harm my
self. After I was sure that it was over and I did not feel any vibration again, I moved my self out
from the table and walked to the stairs because the lift was not operated.

Everybody went down by using the stairs. When I was at the second floor, near by the
meeting room, the earthquake came again. I walked quickly to the meeting room and protected
my self with the meeting sturdy table. I was sure there was no earthquake anymore, then I went
out from the office and went on to the field, a wide area where the vehicles were parked.

I met a lot of my friends there, we were waiting for the safe situation. I was crossing my
fingers to the God that please save me and all people here, give us a chance to still alive. I prayed
until the situation became safe and earthquake was really gone. After that some people checked
the damage because of the disaster and I went to the cafeteria to get a cup of hot tea to make my
self calmer.

I will never forget this experience. I really thank to the God because He saved me from
the disaster and also my company that gave me a chance to study about the rescuing steps of the
disaster. And I suggest you to study or find out more about the rescuing steps of the disaster
especially for the simulation. Trust me, it will be very useful for you.
