UBC is participating for the third time in the province-wide ShakeOut BC earthquake preparedness exercise.
On Oct. 18 at 10:18 a.m. everyone on campus should:
• Drop, Cover and Hold on for one minute
• If there is nothing to get under, move to an inner wall
• Move away from windows and falling hazards
The recent 8.9 magnitude earthquake in Japan and 6.3 magnitude earthquake in New Zealand serve as reminders that earthquakes can happen anytime.
