Great California Shakeout Drill - Oct. 20
For years, scientists have been predicting the next big earthquake to hit California. It is vitally important that every member of our campus community be prepared when it does.
On Thursday, Oct. 20 at 10:20 a.m., get ready to DROP where you are, COVER your head or get under a sturdy desk or table, HOLD ON to something sturdy and stay in place until the shaking stops. This year it is estimated that more than 7.4 million Californians will participate in this annual drill.
To prepare for this and other major events, CI conducts regular building evacuation drills to test and verify the building fire and evacuation notification alarms. In the event of a real earthquake emergency, occupants would DROP, COVER & HOLD ON and then immediately evacuate their building with the assistance of their Building Marshals who are appointed by the University to assist building occupants in the event of an emergency.
For information regarding the Building Marshal program and to develop your personal evacuation plan, please visit the Emergency Preparedness web page at http://www.csuci.edu/police/emergency-management/index.htm.
For additional information about CI’s participation in the Great California Shakeout Drill, contact Sergeant Jeff Cowgill, University Police, at ext. 8444 or jeff.cowgill@csuci.edu.
