SBCUSD Schools Participating in Great California Shakeout

All San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD) schools and offices will participate in the Great California ShakeOut on Thursday, Oct. 20. Beginning at 10:20 a.m., all SBCUSD students and staff will drop, cover, and hold on. Sites will also practice emergency response procedures, such as evacuations and reporting and coordinating with the SBCUSD Emergency Operations Center. Visitors to SBCUSD schools and offices are required to evacuate with students and staff. As in a real

emergency, SBCUSD sites may be unable to answer phone calls and emails during the drill and evacuation. “Disasters can strike at any time. We know that. We’ve lived that recently with the Blue Cut fire,” Eric Vetere, SBCUSD emergency manager, said. “That’s why it’s important to always be prepared. And, the annual Great California Shakeout is the perfect time for our entire community to practice for a disaster.” The Great California ShakeOut is a statewide earthquake and disaster

preparedness drill. Everyone in California, including private businesses and individuals, are encouraged to participate to better prepare for an earthquake or other natural disasters. Earthquake- and disaster-preparedness materials are available at www. shakeout.org <http:// www.shakeout.org>.
