At exactly 10:17 a.m. on 10/17, many NCSD schools joined more than 500,000 people across the state participating in the Great Oregon Shakeout—an annual earthquake preparedness drill reminding people to Drop, Cover, and Hold On as if a major earthquake occurred at that very moment. We take an inside look at how the drill played out at Mt. Scott Elementary School, where NCSD Security & Emergency Management Specialist Kimmy Boone was happy to be at the epicenter of NCSD students and staff perfectly practicing our district’s Standard Response Protocols.
