Reynolds will participate in a multi-state earthquake drill today Thursday, October 16. What can you expect? - A test emergency notification will be pushed out through the Reynolds Alert system clearly marked as drill. - A representative from Reynolds Police will be each at campus to answer any questions from students or employees. Earthquakes happen without warning, and the shaking may be so severe that you cannot run or crawl. So DROP, COVER AND HOLD ON IMMEDIATELY. If there isn’t a table or desk near you, drop to the ground in an inside corner of the building, and cover your head and neck with your hands and arms. Do not try to run to another room to get under a table. Also, during an earthquake, don’t run outside. Trying to run is dangerous because the ground is moving and you can easily fall or be injured by falling bricks, glass and other building materials. In the U.S., you are much safer to stay inside and get under a table. ----- Reynolds maintains an Earthquake Preparation Guide that can viewed by clicking reynolds.edu/campus_life/police/Emerg_Op_Plan/Emergency_%20Response_Guides/Annex%20A%20Earthquake%20Preparation%20and%20Response%20Guide.pdf
