TEST ONLY - Shakeout Drill underway! Sirens are activated, Drop, Cover, Hold On to practice for a real earthquake. 
The Shakeout Drill is underway! Drop (under a sturdy table, chair, or desk, to protect yourself from falling debris), Cover (the back of your head and neck, to further protect from potential injury), and Hold On (to the object you are taking cover under, to prevent it from shaking away from you).
This small drill will help build muscle memory if/when an actual earthquake strikes and will get everyone thinking more about what they would or should do.
