Thursday, April 6th, HSL is participating in the annual statewide "Drop, Cover & Hold Earthquake Drill" from 9:45 am - 10 am.
At 9:45 am the building public address system will announce "an earthquake has occured" as a drill and ask people to stop, drop, cover and hold. You are encouraged to practice this earthquake response.
After the building wide announcement, the Information Desk staff will announce on our PA system " This is only a drill. You are invited to practice your earthquake response STOP, DROP, COVER AND HOLD. You DO NOT need to evacuate the library or building."
The next announcement will let you know "the shaking has stopped." At this time you may resume normal activities but you may want to discuss with your nearby co-workers what you would do if a building evacuation was necessary (Where would you go? What would you take?)
The Information Desk will announce, "This is only a drill. You DO NOT need to evacuate the library or building. Please take a moment to think about what you would have done if this had been a real earthquake"
At 10 am building PA system will announce the conclusion of the drill.
