lifesaving drills
Practiced rescue procedures
Lifesaving drills are practice exercises that prepare people to respond to emergencies—fire drills, earthquake drills, active shooter drills, lifeboat drills on ships.
The term emphasizes that the skills rehearsed could prevent death: The cruise ship held lifesaving drills before departure.
Schools and workplaces conduct them regularly to build automatic responses to crisis situations.
