Annual Safety Training Events
The Great Washington ShakeOut
Emergency Earthquake Drill: October 19, 2023 at 10:19 am.
Every year LCC participates in The Great Washington ShakeOut, a statewide earthquake drill designed to help you understand how to protect yourself in a real earthquake. During the drill LCC will activate all emergency communication channels. Please react as if this were a real earthquake. Afterward, you may return to your normal college activities.
Why is this drill important?
LCC is located in a seismically active area with a history of large magnitude quakes. Future earthquakes will occur and our best course of action is to be prepared.
