ShakeOut Earthquake Drill
CWU ALERT: This is a TEST of Central Washington University's emergency alert system. This is only a TEST. CWU is participating in the Great Washington ShakeOut, an earthquake preparedness campaign. In the event of an actual earthquake you should drop, cover and hold on. Drop to the ground, take cover by getting under a sturdy object, and hold on until the shaking stops. If you are unable to drop, cover, and hold on, get as low as possible and protect your head and neck and move away from windows or other items that can fall on you. If necessary, the SURC is designated as the primary reunification area. If the SURC is not usable the reunification area will be identified at that time. For more information visit shakeout.org. Also visit this site for official CWU information and resources.
