WHAT HAPPENS AT 10:16?

At 10:15, the earthquake drill begins.

Drop, Cover and Hold On.

At 10:16, the shaking has stopped.

Now your emergency plan has to work.

PICK: INJURY, ACCOUNTABLITY, OR COMMAND

1. INJURY

A seriously injured person is discovered.

Cell phones are down.

WATCH FOR

Does the team protect life and find another effective way to get critical information to Command?

2. ACCOUNTABILITY

An occupant cannot be accounted for.

Their last known location is unclear.

WATCH FOR

Does the team recognize the problem, gather available information and establish where the person may be?

3. COMMAND

Conflicting information is received.

A decision is required now.

WATCH FOR

Does Command collect the critical information, make a decision and communicate what happens next?

WHAT ARE YOU ACTUALLY TESTING?

Drop, Cover and Hold On is important.

But it doesn’t test your emergency plan.

The real test starts when people have to use it.

What worked?
What didn’t?
What did you learn about your system?
