The great BC shakeout drill took place today and our NSO team practiced right along with the rest of the province.
when the ground shakes, remember these three steps:
1️⃣ DROP to your hands and knees
2️⃣ COVER your head and neck and get under a sturdy desk or table if one is nearby.
3️⃣ HOLD ON until the shaking stops
No table close by? Crouch low against an interior wall and protect your head and neck with your arms stay inside and don’t run outside.
Earthquakes don’t wait for a drill so keep practicing at home, work and school. Take a few minutes this week to review your emergency, plan pack a grab and go kit and know your safe spots and exits.
