Earthquake Evacuation Drill
Earthquakes are a normal occurrence in Southern California, but that doesn’t mean we should take them lightly or assume we’re prepared.
This evacuation drill will occur for the Library Building only. The Library will be evacuated in its entirety so please plan accordingly.
