K-12 schools 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 20, 2016, at 10:20 a.m. <\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

KPBSD students and staff join more than 120,000 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.
\nAlaska schools, families, and businesses are encouraged to participate.
