Each year more than 25 million people participate in Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills worldwide, in K-12 schools, colleges, businesses, government agencies, other organizations, and households.
Participants practice "Drop, Cover, and Hold On" (and other aspects of their emergency plans):
DROP to the ground (before the earthquake drops you!),
COVER your head and neck with your arms and seek additional shelter by getting under a sturdy desk or table if nearby; and
HOLD ON to your shelter and be prepared to move with it until the shaking stops.
Help us keep our students and community prepared and safe by encouraging participation in the Great Oregon ShakeOut earthquake drill on October 15th at 10:15am. More details to follow via email.
