emergency drills
Evacuation practice sessions
Emergency drills are practice exercises that prepare people to respond to dangerous situations—fires, earthquakes, active shooters, or other threats.
Schools, workplaces, and public buildings conduct them regularly so that evacuation routes and safety procedures become automatic: We had a fire drill this morning.
The goal is muscle memory: when real emergencies strike, people act rather than freeze.
