Dear Team,
Please be advised that all schools and buildings are expected to participate in the Great Utah ShakeOut on Thursday, April 17 at 10:15 AM. There will then be a radio check test at 10:30 and further information will be shared about that shortly.
This statewide earthquake drill is a valuable opportunity to engage our students and staff in a real-world emergency preparedness scenario. To maintain consistency across the district, we ask that everyone begins the drill at exactly 10:15 AM.
What You Need to Do:
- Conduct the drill with full participation from staff and students at 10:15 AM.
- Focus on engaging your school or building in meaningful emergency response actions.
- Report any successes, challenges, or concerns to your assigned Area Director after the event.
Important Resources:
Before planning your drill, please visit https://www.shakeout.org/index.html.
The website includes:
- Step-by-step guidance for organizing your drill
- Flyers and information in multiple languages to support your school community
- A place to register your school as a ShakeOut participant and record your activities
We strongly encourage every school to register and take full advantage of the tools provided.
If you need assistance or have questions, please contact Christina Diaz in Facilities at christina.diaz@slcschools.org or (801) 886-8927
Thank you for your attention to this important effort and for helping ensure we’re all prepared.
Isaac
