Drills of your nation

Postby Kalaspia-Shimarata » Tue Sep 27, 2011 7:40 am

Fire Drills, Earthquake drills etc. What drills does your country have?

Kalaspia-Shimarata we have:
-Earthquake drills (whilst we're not stupid enough to build a civilisation near fault line, sometimes eathquakes happen away from the line)
-Fire Drills
-Lockdown Drills
-War Drills
-Bomb/Terrorist/On-site Murderer Drills
-Tsunami/Tidal Wave Drills
-Apocolyptic Drills (the world will end, we just don't know when)
-Flood Drills
-Mass Evacuation Drills
-Hurricane Drills
-Cyclone Drills
-Metior Drills
-Whirepool drills
-Drought Drills (Mermaids)
-Medical Epademic Drills
-Wild Animal Drills (Although Less Prevelent due to design of cities)
-Emergency Drills (e.g.what to do if someone falls off a ladder)
-Death Dills (What to do if someone dies)
-On-site Crime Drills
-Theif Drills (For people who are part ofthe organisation and un armed)
-Armed Robbery Drills
-Drunk or Junky Drills
-Hazardous gas Drills
-Nuclear Weapon Drills
-Snowstorm Drills
-Hail Drills
-Mixed/Controdicting Dills (e.g. what to do if there is a fire where you have to evacuate and a crime where you have to go into lockdown)
So what drills does your nation have?

Kalaspia-Shimarata's flag represents the Union between K&S. The dark blue represents the sea and the light blue represents the sky. In Kalashi language considers light blue and dark blue to be different colours. England colonised, and unified K&S, between 1774 and 1953, and English, light blue and dark blue are considered to be the same colour. Therefore, the contrast between dark blue and light blue represents the union, but the differences between K&S where as blue being two but simultaneously one colour represents K&S being two, but simultaniously one entity. The opposite to the symmetry represents the unity and indipendance of K&S, whilst also representing the Kalashi culture of opposite symmetry.KS is 75% Christian, hence the cross.

Ruthsen doesn't exactly have any compulsory drills - it's up to each school to decide what drills it wishes to do. Because of the recent adoption of Imperialist and Colonialist policies by Ruthsen, some schools decided to do bombing drills - the good old duck and cover, but in most cases, no drills happen, ever.

The Mixed Contradicting Drills are something that would be insanely impractival in real life, but also incredibly useful if you could find a way to do it.

Schools routinely conduct voluntary fire drills to make sure that in case of a fire, as rare it may be, students and faculty are prepared to exit a building or take refuge in a fire proof 'safe room' within the school. Likewise, workplaces and apartment complexes also conduct voluntary fire drills to make sure that residents and workers are able to sufficiently exit buildings should they have to vacate should a fire or earthquake occur.

Coastal neighborhoods also conduct voluntary evacuation and emergency drills for residence and emergency responders just as a precaution since Tsvarchi is in what some have named the Circle of Doom' - that is because we're extremely susceptible to natural disasters, in this case tsunamis, or earthquakes which spawn tsunamis.

Also more notable because of wet season are flood drills, to make sure that our citizens natural and immigrant, old and young, know what to do when the massive flooding starts coming in, which can actually reach several feet up. It can be quite an experience, and it is important people know what to do when it happens.

Partially this, but Minoa is less susceptible to flooding due to channel diversions. However the Environment Authority continues to promote flood advice.

The compulsory drills are earthquake drills and fire drills. Earthquake and fire drills take place in schools and work places every 2 or 3 weeks. Some schools and workplaces differ, Some schools and workplaces do additional drills. Places on the coast also do tsunami drills about every 5 or 6 weeks, and some workplaces and schools on the coast do flooding drills, although flooding not that common in Shinjitai.
Here is some children in an earthquake drill:

Federal subjects are often considered to be smart enough to get out of a building as anyone above them on the social hierarchy demanded them to do so most private corporations does not practice emergency drills as it is often assumed that the man in charge would order his employees to leave the building in a orderly fashion.

Schools does however sometimes practices it even if it is not required of them, a type of drilling that however are common in schools are military ones as it learn young boys to listen to authority while at the same time give them some discipline while it would help them if they wanted to join the royal guard later on.

kids in school drill for every kind of thing imaginable and have great fun doing it. in adulthood, people aren't really obliged, but interest groups practice preparedness for contributing their services in times of challenge and difficulty. each interest group according to its own focus. and many cameroi do commit themselves to more then one of them.

We don't have any mandatory drills. But those they we do have include:

-> Fire drill
-> Terror attack drills (simulations of possible terrorist attacks, like bombings)*
-> Power drills
-> Boring drills (like you use to make oil platforms etc)

* - In some industries, these are mandatory.
Please note: Central Lothian is the direct successor to Mid Lothian*. As a result, I am still called Rebecca, I am still a Grammar Nazi and most information pertaining to ML also applies to CL (although I will be taking this time to change a few things).

Except in school, that's entirely the choice of the private sector. The government does not have a hand in what corporations can compel practice for, but failure to do so will result in catastrophic loss of life. TurtleShroomers consider preparedness an extension of common sense and really doesn't need to compel businesses.

    In school, we drills on the following subjects to students and faculty:
  • Fire (universal)
  • Tornado (universal)
  • Lockdown (universal)
  • Swamp gas leak (for swamplands)
  • Nuclear power plant danger (if one is nearby)
  • Sandstorm (in deserts)
  • Nuclear explosion, EMP, or other WMD attack (universal)
  • The flash of a nuclear weapon ("duck and cover", tied into the above; universal)
  • Foreign invasion or attack (universal)
  • Terrorist attack (universal)
  • Pandemics, plagues, the Bubonic Plague, and epidemics (varies widely)


It never hurts to be prepared. :blush:

The 19th September is the official Earthquake Drill Day, when at 11:00 everyone has to stop what they are doing and perform the earthquake drill. This normally consists of getting under a table and grabbing one of the table legs. If there is no table, try standing in a doorway. If you are outside, get out into the open so you don't get hit by something.

The day is the anniversary of the 1883 Bismouth Earthquake, in which 2,000 were killed, making it the worst natural disaster in ArghNeedAName history.

The only drill practiced in Crookfur schools is a basic evacuation drill that pretty much covers all the main emergencies likely to occur.

Outside of the Priamry and secondary education systems the government doesn;t mandate any kind of drill/rehersal requirements on biuldings or organisations but most companies or public biuldings will liekly need to carry them out at least semi regularly in order to comply with insurance requirements

This. One such example would be an "Intrusion Response Drill--Office."

In this example, office workers simulate intrusion by armed elements. Given that most workers carry at least a pistol, the goal of the drill is for armed office workers to coordinate their counterattack against the intruders.

Yu reminded me about some of them
Kalaspia-Shimarata's flag represents the Union between K&S. The dark blue represents the sea and the light blue represents the sky. In Kalashi language considers light blue and dark blue to be different colours. England colonised, and unified K&S, between 1774 and 1953, and English, light blue and dark blue are considered to be the same colour. Therefore, the contrast between dark blue and light blue represents the union, but the differences between K&S where as blue being two but simultaneously one colour represents K&S being two, but simultaniously one entity. The opposite to the symmetry represents the unity and indipendance of K&S, whilst also representing the Kalashi culture of opposite symmetry.KS is 75% Christian, hence the cross.
