KU to participate in Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drill on Oct. 16
LAWRENCE — The University of Kansas will participate in the national Great ShakeOut Drill at 10:40 a.m. Oct. 16.
Students, faculty and staff are invited to practice the earthquake response tactic “drop, cover and hold on” and be counted in the world’s largest earthquake drill.
KU students, faculty and staff will receive an emergency notification via email and text message (for those who have opted in to SMS messaging) at 10:40 a.m., and the campus Emergency Public Address system will also be tested during this time. The drill will last approximately five minutes.
Help promote preparedness by taking a few photos of your participation and sending them to the Office of Emergency Management at emergencymgt@ku.edu.
