Around 66 public elementary schools around Baguio City hold regular earthquake-preparedness drills to keep the students abreast of safety procedures during earthquakes with a magnitude of over 7 on the Richter scale. Baguio City suffered heavy losses in lives and properties during the July 16, 1990 earthquake that measured 7.6 on the Richter scale which at a time when no safety and preparedness measures were in place to mitigate the natural disaster.
