Here in Perth the only drills I ever did at school were fire drills. Australia is not a very paranoid country and we tend to be very laid back as a society. We take the threat of fires pretty seriously but that is about it. Perhaps we should be a bit more on guard in this changing world we live in. Terrorists have said many times in the media that they consider Australia to be a target.
There are parts of Australia (the northern half) where cyclones are a yearly occurrence so I guess schools in those parts have the equivalent of tornado drills. We get a lot more early warning for cyclones than people in the US would get for tornadoes though.
