Geophysical Institute staff to participate in ShakeOut drill
October 16, 2012
The Geophysical Institute is registered to take part in the Great ÐÓ°Épro ShakeOut
Thursday, Oct. 18, at 10:18 a.m. The staff and faculty working in the Elvey Building
will participate in a Drop, Cover and Hold On drill. The drill will be announced over
the GI’s paging system and via email.
When faculty, staff, students and visitors of the GI hear or see a message about the
drill, they'll be asked to participate by dropping, covering their head and, if they're
near a desk or table, seek cover and hold on. The drill lasts for one minute. Millions
of Americans have participated in ShakeOuts since 2008. This is ÐÓ°Épro’s first.
Employees are encouraged to take part and get prepared. ÐÓ°Épro is the most seismically
active state in the nation. For more information about the Great ÐÓ°Épro ShakeOut or
