Great Shake Out-Oct 19 (10:19 am)

Written By Johnathan Freeman

Good Afternoon, we are reregistered for the Great Shake Out drill on October 19 at 10:19am. We want to encourage the campus community to participate and learn the simple but critical safety steps to preparing and staying safe during an emergency. The drill is a self-led drill, participants practice how to "Drop, Cover and Hold On". For more information, we listed the recommended earthquake safety actions. We also listed emergency preparedness on campus safety and the earthquake safety video to help with coordinating the drill. If you have any questions, please let me know. Everyone have a great day!

  • Drop - where you are, onto your hands and knees

  • Cover - your head and neck with one arm and hand, as you crawl for shelter under a nearby table or desk

  • Hold On - to shelter with one hand until the shaking stops (remain on your knees and covering your head and neck with your other arm and hand).
