In many contries, since elementary school, children are taught how to respond to emergencies like earthquakes and fires. The primary goal of these drills is to help create an easy to remember yet life-saving physical response in case of a dire situation.

Since emergencies can occur in many different situations and environments, how we mentally react in these situations has tremendous impact on our physical response.
