News Release
\nShake out, don\u2019t freak out <\/em><\/strong>earthquake drill is 10\/16 at 10:16 a.m.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Soldotna, September 17, 2014\u2014Schools in the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District will participate in the Great Alaska ShakeOut \u201cDrop, Cover, and Hold On\u201d earthquake drill on Thursday, October 16, 2014, at 10:16 a.m. <\/strong>
\n\u00a0<\/strong>KPBSD students and staff join more than 66,000 Alaskans who already registered to participate. Dave Jones, assistant superintendent of instructional support, said, \u201cWe need to be prepared for incidents we hope never happen, but if they do, we can minimize the danger to our students, staff, and community.\u201d Earthquake preparation and the proper \u201cDrop, Cover, and Hold On\u201d technique is valuable safety education for our students and employees. We will also practice a radio check-in to the district office from each of our schools following this earthquake drill.
\nPlease encourage Alaska businesses and families to also participate.<\/strong>
