Sundan po natin ang tagubilin ng mga kinauukulan sa nasabing exercise at sa panahon ng anumang sakuna para sa ating sariling kaligtasan at seguridad.



2. During the civil defense exercise, drivers must pull over, following the police's instructions, and monitor the local media for official updates.

Manatiling nakatutok sa mga opisyal na pahayag at sumunod sa tagubilin ng pulis at emergency staff hanggang ipagbigay-alam ang pagtatapos ng alarm o exercise.
