VIMSIA Completes Earthquake Drills

On Thursday, VIMSIA students and staff practiced a “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” drill along with an Earthquake Evacuation Drill. School Nurse Sally Kiser coordinated this event for the entire campus today at 10:00 am. VIMSIA held these drills utilizing the new COVID mask and distancing protocols. 

The first drill consisted of "Drop, Cover and Hold" at the outset of a tremor which Nurse Kiser announced over the PA system, and then an all-clear to proceed to their safe areas. Students and staff gathered in two locations in an orderly fashion. 

By holding these drills, VIMSIA participates in the Earthquake Country Alliances annual "Great ShakeOut" program for earthquake preparedness.
