\"2015<\/a>KPBSD students and staff join more than 69,000 Alaskans who have 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
\nEarthquake 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.
