However, children and young people spend most of their day in school, so it is vital that this topic is discussed on the school campus and that all schools actively participate in exercises such as CARIBE WAVE. In this way, the school ensures a better response during a real emergency, thus minimizing the loss of life of the student body under their responsibility. The exercises also serve to determine which faults have to be corrected in the school emergency plan. On the other hand, if students feel better prepared to face this type of emergency, we can minimize the number of people who could suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is a very common condition after an emergency, such as earthquakes and tsunamis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We encourage schools and educational institutions at all levels to participate in the CARIBE WAVE 2026 Exercise:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To test the evacuation and emergency response plans<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perform one of the 5 types of exercises:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>Orientation<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drill <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simulation or tabletop exercise<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Functional exercise <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Full-Scale exercise<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.
