UDHAMPUR: In the wake of the recent earthquakes in Nepal and adjoining areas including India, the National Cadet Corps is planning to mobilise its cadets to actively organize mock drills in various schools to minimise damage in case of any earthquake.
Since children in school are vulnerable to such disaster the National Cadet Corps has decided to spread awareness regarding the after care and management of such a disaster in case it happens.
National Cadet Corps would educate all its cadets across its country about do’s and don’ts in case of an earthquake. It plans to carry out mock drills in schools and will also concentrate on first aid and casualty evacuation.
The National Cadet Corps has a fourteen lakh strong cadet base across the country and education of all these cadets towards disaster management would go a long way in ensuring that minimum casualties occur in case such an earthquake happens in India.
