AN “earthquake” shakes Tanjung Benoa village in Bali and hundreds of elementary students hide under their desks. Once the earthquake stops and a tsunami warning is announced, they run into a four- story hotel building near the school. They take their schoolbags with them, putting them on their heads to protect them from falling debris.
This was a simulation for thousands of students on Tuesday as part of a tsunami preparedness drill that was held during the fifth World Reconstruction Conference (WRC5) in Bali.
