As everyone else has said, these are common in the US. Generally, they happen once a year. These kinds of "physical safety" trainings are pretty common in the US. Fire drills are conducted once per quarter. Anti-bullying/harassment training is conducted once per semester.
I should add (as a current high school student in Washington State) a couple days after Russian troops entered Ukraine, the DHS asked high schools to practice "chemical lockouts": ensuring all students are inside, sealing externally facing doors, etc.
Also, at least in my state, in the mandatory physical education class for high schoolers (which is only for one year), we do learn CPR, the Heimlich maneuver, and a few other first-aid techniques. However, by the time students graduate, they will have forgotten all of that training.
