The University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at Hilo<\/a> and Hawaiʻi<\/span> Community College<\/a> will be participating in the Great ShakeOut on October 15. Millions of people worldwide will practice how to drop, cover and hold on<\/a> at 10:15 a.m. on October 15, during Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“While we do not expect everyone to ‘drop, cover and hold on,’ we hope that you will take this opportunity to become aware of what to do should an earthquake occur during university classes or activities,” says Ken Ikeda<\/strong>, environmental safety specialist at 糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> Hilo.<\/p>\n

Get involved<\/h2>\n

Members of the 糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> community can sign up online<\/a> to receive 糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> alert text messages on cell phones.<\/p>\n

As a part of emergency planning and preparedness, 糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> Hilo and Hawaiʻi<\/span> CC<\/abbr> will be utilizing various means of emergency communications to inform the university community of the drill. At 10:15 a.m. on October 15, a 糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> alert test message will be sent out and the emergency notification system will be activated via synchronous clocks in classrooms and common areas. The LED<\/abbr> clock bars will scroll the message across the screen and make an audible announcement.<\/p>\n

Hawaiʻi<\/span> Community College will also utilize the emergency features of “blue light” phones to announce the drill.<\/p>\n

“While we understand that this may be a temporary inconvenience, we hope that the activation of our emergency communication systems for a short period of time will allow people to become familiar with the university’s ability to provide timely notification in the event of emergency,” says Ikeda. “In addition we hope that participation in the Great ShakeOut will raise awareness to the potential hazards of earthquakes in Hawaiʻi<\/span>.”<\/p>\n
