Washington is earthquake and tsunami country—and while these natural hazards may not happen every day, it’s not a matter of if, but when. For schools, being prepared is critical to ensuring the safety of students, staff, and the larger school community. While earthquakes and tsunamis may seem overwhelming to plan for, there are practical steps schools can take right now to improve safety. Many of these actions also strengthen your preparedness for other emergencies—like severe weather, power outages, or shelter-in-place events. To help school leaders, safety teams, and educators prepare, in partnership with the Washington State Emergency Management Division, we are offering an engaging training designed specifically for schools. This session will walk through: •    What to expect during an earthquake or tsunami •    School-specific strategies to prepare and respond •    How to engage students in drills like the Great Washington ShakeOut •    Tools and resources for school emergency planning and communication Join us to learn how your school can be part of the Great ShakeOut and strengthen its emergency readiness. Whether you’re a principal, school safety officer, facilities manager, or teacher, this is your chance to get equipped with the knowledge and tools you need to help your school community stay safe. Let’s work together to make every school in Washington more prepared—starting with one ShakeOut drill at a time.
