Second year student of the Department of Mass Communication, Ji-you Yu, stated, “Before there is an earthquake it’s important to practice the disaster prevention drills for safety and finding cover. It actually is more important to do it in a building such as the Business and Management building because when the halls are full of people, you need to be even more prepared.”
