Unesc School conducted an emergency drill on the institution's premises on the afternoon of Friday (November 6). The activity began at 3 PM and aimed to strengthen the culture of prevention and safety in the school environment. The Fire Department, the Aeromedical Service (Saer), and the team of firefighters were present.

In total, around 300 people were involved, including students from the early years, teachers, and staff. Classes continued as usual, and at the first sign, the students remained attentive to the situation.

The drill simulated the response to a fictional victim suffering from inhalation and smoke intoxication, with the activation of SOS, the Specialized Service in Safety Engineering and Occupational Medicine (Sesmt), the Fire Department, and Saer.

"We want to guide students, teachers, and staff on how to act in case of an emergency, teaching them practically, especially the children and adolescents. We hope and work for this never to happen, but if it does, we want everyone to know how to respond," explained the pedagogical assistant Tânia Goulart, one of the organizers of the activity.

The plan is executed twice a year and also serves to evaluate points that can be improved with each edition. According to the director of Unesc School, Marcela Gava da Silva, the training is essential to reduce risks and ensure that everyone is prepared for adverse situations.

"I believe that everyone who participates becomes a multiplier in the places they may be, acting correctly and mainly avoiding panic situations. We thank Saer and the Fire Department for being partners and contributing to the success of the drill," she emphasized.
