News Release
Clackamas Fire gets ready to 'ShakeOut' - 10/16/19

OREGON CITY, Ore. – On Thursday, Oct. 17, 2019 at 10:17 a.m., Clackamas Fire will partner with the Alliance Charter Academy to practice what to do in the event of an earthquake. The training, as part of the statewide “Great Oregon ShakeOut” effort, will focus on the steps students and staff can take in the initial moments of an earthquake.

The knowledge of what to do during an earthquake is equally as important as practicing the process of reuniting parents and students in the hours that follow. Thursday’s drill will take the additional steps to practice this reunification process, as if it were real.  Clackamas Fire’s Emergency Management Team has coordinated this exercise to emphasize the importance of knowing what to do and what steps to take, should an earthquake occur in our region.

Help us spread the word about the importance of knowing what to do if an earthquake occurs by taking part in the Great Oregon ShakeOut. More information and resources to educate your family and friends can be found at www.shakeout.org.

This exercise is closed to the public, but members of the media are invited to attend.

WHEN: Oct. 17, 2019 at 10:17-11:00 a.m.

WHERE: Alliance Charter Academy

16075 Front Ave.

Oregon City, OR 97045
