Arkansas schools participate in Great ShakeOut Day training

It is an international training that raises awareness and provides education on what to do in the event of an earthquake.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Schools and businesses across the state participated in Great ShakeOut Day on Thursday, October 21.

It is an international training that raises awareness and provides education on what to do in the event of an earthquake.

School districts are required to conduct earthquake drills in October and February. They can do it at any time, as long as they get it done that month.

Principal of McDermott Elementary in Little Rock Pam Dial said they would love to take part in this exercise to be part of something bigger than themselves.

“I think it makes the kids and the teachers excited and makes me excited to be part of something bigger than just our little school,” she said.

Students at McDermott Elementary School and schools around the world interrupted their class work on Thursday, October 21 at 10:21 a.m. with warnings like these through the speaker: “This is earthquake training. At this time, we need students to cover up and cover and hold. And keep it.”

According to Dial, this comes as no shock, as they have taken part in International Great ShakeOut Day for the past three years, which is something students are preparing for.

“I usually share the site with teachers, and it just gives them ideas on how to explain it to the kids. It also gives demonstrations of how to fall, cover and grab so students can protect their heads and backs,” she said.

Knowing these three simple steps is vital, according to Arkansas Geological Survey director and geologist Scott Osbrookes, because Arkansas lies along the New Madrid fault line, and earthquakes are an unexpected disaster.

“It happens all year round, it can happen at any time, and the best way to say it is it happened without notice. It receives no warning,” he said.

Osbrookes said the state has already experienced 34 earthquakes this year, which is average.

While he said only 10% of those actually feel people, education is the key to their safety.

“If you’re in California, you’d expect earthquakes. If you’re in Arkansas, not so much, which is why we’re so excited to be involved in this and connect with people and try to raise awareness,” Osbrookes said.
