Did you know Oregon is part of “Earthquake Country?”

Join us on October 15 at 10:15 am for the annual ShakeOut drill. It takes just seconds to practice the three steps that research proves can save lives: Drop, Cover, and Hold On.

A few tips:

💡Identify safe spots in your classroom, office, dorm room, etc. Look for places to get under a sturdy desk or table if possible. If outside, get to an open space away from things like trees and lampposts.

💡Opt into text message UO alerts by texting 333111 with your campus code (UOEUG, UOPDX, or UOOIMB).

Next Thursday is The Great Earthquake Drill. As soon as you feel shaking or get a ShakeAlert Earthquake Early Warning:

1️⃣DROP
2️⃣COVER
3️⃣HOLD ON!

Participating may look different to you based on your mobility needs.

Take a moment to review how you’ll prepare for ShakeOut next week!
