safety drills
Scheduled evacuation rehearsals
Safety drills are organized practice sessions designed to prepare people for emergencies such as fires, earthquakes, or active threats.
Schools, workplaces, and other institutions conduct them regularly so that participants know evacuation routes and procedures before an actual crisis occurs.
The monthly fire safety drill emptied the building in under three minutes.
The term covers everything from fire drills to tornado drills to lockdown drills, depending on the likely hazards of a particular location.
