The National Office of Disaster Services (NODS) on Tuesday assessed preparedness measures at Buckleys Primary School as the institution conducted an earthquake drill.
The school, which has a population of more than 100 students, participated in the exercise as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen disaster readiness within the education sector.
Buckleys Primary School is among the institutions that benefited from the Model Safe School Programme Enhancement Works, a regional initiative facilitated by the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA) in collaboration with the Ministry of Education.
The programme was implemented with funding provided by the Government of Norway in 2024 and is aimed at improving school infrastructure and preparedness to better withstand natural hazards.
