The Great Washington ShakeOut
Emergency Earthquake Drill: October 19, 2023 at 10:19 am.
Every year 黑料社 participates in , a statewide earthquake drill designed to help you understand how to protect yourself in a real earthquake. During the drill 黑料社 will activate all emergency communication channels. Please react as if this were a real earthquake. Afterward, you may return to your normal college activities.
Why is this drill important?
黑料社 is located in a seismically active area with a history of large magnitude quakes. Future earthquakes will occur and our best course of action is to be prepared.
