Spring District Reunification Drill - Volunteers Needed!

3/3/2025

 
Picture
Northshore School District will be holding a practice reunification drill on Wednesday, APRIL 23rd and they need parent/guardian volunteers to help!


​Adult volunteers can help practice and rehearse the NSD reunification process. No students will be participating in the drill. You will reunite with your cardboard student(s) in a simulated evacuation, ensuring the safety and well-being of everyone involved.

Please ensure you have updated ParentVue contact information so that you can successfully get your cardboard student ....... or your actual student in a real event! 
Date: Wednesday, April 23rd
Time: Afternoon. Sometime between 1:00pm to 4:00pm, most likely at 3:00pm.
Location: Will be announced to participants. Don't worry, the location will definitely be inside NSD boundaries.
​
REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED!
Register early as there is limited space available.
The more people that participate, the more it will emulate a real-life situation!


REGISTER HERE!
Would you like to help, but can't make it in-person that day?
Well, we have a job for you!

The district has set up a one-time phone number for the day of the drill. They are asking volunteers to call the phone number around 1:20pm to ask questions about the emergency/drill. This would replicate what would happen in a real-life situation and will give district personnel practice replying to inquiries while reading scripts.
The phone number is 425-408-7388. It will only be active slightly before and during the drill. Call around 1:20 p.m. Here is a script you can use: “I just got a text from my child/colleague/neighbor who lives by Creekmoor High, and they say there’s some kind of riot at the school! Police! SWAT Team! Crazies! There’s a helicopter! What’s going on?! Why isn’t the district telling us?! Is my child safe? Should I go pick up my child?”
Thank you for helping!

The Great Shake Out 2022 - Earthquake Preparedness

10/19/2022

 
Picture
This year's International ShakeOut Day is October 20, when millions of people worldwide will participate in earthquake drills at work, school, or home!

At 10:20 am (local time) on 10/20, you can join millions of people across the world practicing earthquake safety. While we encourage you to participate with everyone, you can register your ShakeOut drill for any day of the year, and drill at a time of your choice.

More information is available at shakeout.org.

Washington State now has an Earthquake Early warning application you can put on your phone.
 
The MyShake App sends a warning to mobile phone users that shaking is about to occur. The system uses ground-motion sensors to detect earthquakes that have already started and estimates their size, location, and impact. When it detects a significant magnitude, the system issues a ShakeAlert® Message, providing a warning a few seconds before shaking begins.

NOTE: The MyShake App will be sending a test alert at 10:20 a.m., Oct. 20. The test alert should include test audio telling people that this is a system test, and no action is required.

​More information about the app is available at https://mil.wa.gov/alerts#shakealert.
Resources in Multiple Languages: 
​Earthquake Country Alliance (ECA), an organization in California, has pertinent earthquake safety informational resources available to download in multiple languages. These resources are useful in any area prone to earthquakes, including Washington. Download resources in multiple languages.
Visit our E-Prep webpage or contact Council's Emergency Preparedness & Safety​ (E-Prep) Chair, Robin McKenzie
​for more information about the E-Prep committee.
