A big earthquake can happen at any time. The Great Shakeout drill will help us prepare to ride it out and stay safe.

A campuswide zotALERT text, classroom beacon, and desktop notification will be sent on Thursday, October 15 at 10:15 a.m., reminding everyone to participate in the earthquake drill. Wherever you are, Drop, Cover, and Hold On when you receive the alert:

• DROP to the ground (before the earthquake knocks you down).
• Take COVER under a sturdy desk, table, or other furniture. If that is not possible, seek cover against an interior wall and protect your head and neck with your arms. Avoid danger spots near windows, hanging objects, mirrors, or tall furniture.
• HOLD ON to your shelter and be prepared to move with it until the shaking stops. If you don’t have any shelter, cover your head and neck with both arms and hands.
