Today is the Great Oregon Shake Out! At 10:20 a.m., you should receive an alert via the FoxAlert emergency notification system. This is an opportunity to practice the basics: duck, cover, and hold on. If your class or department is participating, watch this video so you know what to do.
We regret to inform you that the upcoming lecture from biotech entrepreneur Donald Drakeman tonight (Thursday), Oct. 20 at 7:30 p.m. in Hoover 105 has been canceled due to aftermath effects from Hurricane Matthew in the speaker’s home town. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause for those who have made special arrangements to attend.
Tomorrow (Thursday) Oct. 20, at 10:20 a.m., the university will participate in The Great Oregon Shake Out, an exercise designed to test the school’s emergency notification systems as well as create dialogue among the George Fox community on how to be personally prepared should an earthquake occur.
Final Tip:
Preparing for disasters can be done over a period of time. Three days’ worth of supplies is a good start and helpful in the event of short-term power outages or temporary evacuation. But a large earthquake and tsunami will leave much of the area’s transportation routes destroyed, making assistance and delivery of supplies difficult to impossible.
Oregonians will have to count on each other in the community, in the workplace and at home in order to be safe until responders can reach them. It is recommended that families, neighborhoods and communities strive to be self-sufficient for two weeks.
After you Shake Out tomorrow, join us at https://www.facebook.com/2WeeksReady/ to learn more about getting your family, neighborhood, and community “Two-Weeks Ready.” The page will be rolling out new information each week.
