  1. Students at the University of Oregon

Announcement coming from the Oregon Office of Emergency Management.

Attention University of Oregon students, it is essential to take proactive earthquake safety measures. Eugene is located in the Cascadia Subduction Zone,  an area that is in danger of earthquakes. These earthquakes could happen in our lifetimes, within the next 50 years. It’s essential to be self-prepared and ensure your own safety. Have enough supplies to last at least 72 hours. Prepare a safety kit that includes things such as batteries, flashlights, food, water, and a first aid kit. You are your priority but be prepared to help other students around you. When on campus be aware of exit signs and routes to be prepared for future earthquakes. Be ready to act quickly to ensure safety during on-campus emergencies, protecting yourself and fellow students. This should be taken seriously to ensure preparedness and safety. Thank you.

  1.  Parents of young children 

Announcement coming from the Oregon Office of Emergency Management.

Earthquake preparation is vital to the safety of your family. Parents of Eugene, you need to be prepared for an earthquake to hit at any time. We can not predict exactly when it is going to happen or where. Do you and your family have a meeting point if service goes down? What’s the escape plan? Ensure you have a safety kit prepared with any medications you or your children may need. Have enough food to feed you and your family for at least 72 hours to be safe. No kiddo likes to be in the dark so, in case of a power outage, have candles and flashlights on hand in convenient areas. Make sure your kids have some type of plan if an earthquake were to occur without you being present. Be safe, be ready, and be informed. Not just for you but for your family too.
