(ANSA) – LODI, 11 MAR – No one was warned at the elementary school of Tavazzano con Villavesco (Lodi): neither the school staff nor the students knew that there would be a simulation of an earthquake complete with a fake explosion agreed by the Protection local civil service with the Municipality and the head teacher Simonetta Cimento.
But not everything went smoothly: “Indeed, at the beginning, several children got scared and started screaming” explained the principal, while the mayor Francesco Morosini said that “a parent directly reported a critical issue to me. of the diabetic child, who will have to be better attended to in future tests without or with notice “.
The exercise involved simulating the scenario following a seismic risk with the rupture of a methane gas pipe and therefore, in addition to the explosion, a smoke bomb was also lit: “Children, teachers and non-teaching staff – has said the mayor – they had not been forewarned precisely because it should have been a surprise simulation and we actually found a critical issue that must now be addressed and resolved “and that is” to maximize the support to fragile subjects primarily by the teaching staff and not professor”.
“Indeed, at the beginning, several children got scared and started screaming – says the principal – as reported by the parents. Then, however, I myself went class by class. And I emphasized the value of the experience, the importance of having learned from the initiative also to relate to rescuers. And some children even said they were happy to have seen drones in action. After all, fear must be learned to manage it. And I will gladly organize other simulations of this kind. in any case, I am satisfied with the initiative “. (HANDLE).
