Earthquake Preparedness
Thank you to all of the schools that participated in the Great Utah Shakeout earthquake drill on April 20, 2017, or at some other time during last week.
A 2016 report from the Utah Seismic Safety Commission states that there is a 43% chance that the Wasatch Front will experience an earthquake of at least a 6.75 magnitude within the next 50 years.
The Jordan School District Incident Command Manual - Earthquake Action Plan and Standard Operating Guidelines detail the response protocols and position descriptions for school personnel. Preparing students and staffs for this type of an event is vital.
