On Wednesday, October 18th at 10:18 am, WHCC participated in The Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drill.
The Great ShakeOut earthquake drills are based on scenario earthquakes that could effect the area if they were to actually take place. Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills are an annual opportunity for people in homes, schools, and organizations to practice what to do during earthquakes, and to improve preparedness. These drills happen all over the world and WHCC decided to jump on the bandwagon. Dr. Henry’s class was willing to take time from their lecture to participate in the drill to further their knowledge on what to do.
It’s a great thing that WHCC decided to participate in this event because Coalinga is right on the San Andreas Fault line. If there were to be an earthquake here, it could be bad. One struck in 1983 and it had a big impact on the community.
So try and be prepared, know what to do, and set an evacuation plan for you, your family, friends, and peers.
