All over the state at 10:17 a.m., on Thursday, Oct 17th,
public institutions including Grossmont College, will observe the Great
California Shake-Out. This will involve
practicing the steps people should take if they suddenly find themselves in a
large, shaking quake.
To prepare for the drill, a panel discussion will be held
one week before, at noon, Thursday, October 10, in the Griffin Gate meeting
room in Building 10.
Panelists will include Earth Sciences Prof. Tim Cliffe, who
will discuss the Richter Scale and the tectonics responsible for faults and
earthquakes; former radio traffic reporter Monica Zech, who is now a
spokesperson for the City of El Cajon, who will discuss earthquake safety; and student Yuta Takahashi, who will tell his
experiences as a rescue worker following the 9.0 earthquake and tsunami that
wreaked destruction on Japan in March 2011.
