Emergency drills should help occupants understand:

Emergency drills are specifically designed to ensure that occupants are familiar with the appropriate actions to take during various types of emergencies. These drills simulate real-life scenarios, allowing individuals to practice critical responses such as evacuation procedures, the use of fire extinguishers, and emergency communication. The primary goal is to enhance safety and preparedness, enabling participants to react promptly and correctly when faced with an actual emergency.

Understanding the correct actions during an emergency can significantly reduce panic and confusion, leading to safer evacuation and better management of the situation. Other aspects, such as the history of fire safety or regulations, while potentially informative, do not directly improve immediate response capabilities in emergency situations. Additionally, the notion of managing fires independently may create a sense of reliance on personal ability rather than following established protocols, which can be dangerous. Therefore, knowledge of what actions to take during an emergency remains the focus of effective emergency drills.
