Apparently every day there are micro quakes registered on the island and a fault line was recently discovered under downtown Victoria. Nevertheless one has to be prepared for the big one so...
On Thursday, October 17 we were part of 'Shake Out BC'. For those of you who, like me, have never experienced an earthquake preparation drill it's is much like a fire drill.
Here's what you do:
At the sound of the air horn, at 10:17am:
•Drop, Cover and Hold On
 |
| Me under my desk |
•Remain in your safe position for approx. 1 minute
•After you hear a long blast of horns, emerge from your safe position
 |
| Leaving our office |
•Evacuate your building to the assigned Emergency Assembly Point (EAP).
 |
| The mustering station |
No it wasn't ground shaking (haha!) but a good test and way to get some fresh fall air. Now I am dealing with the fog... next blog.
