Utah's ShakeOut

Today was a super eventful/ educational day for us here at the center! We participated in the 2016
Utah ShakeOut! For those that don't know what this is, its the annual state wide earthquake drill!
Our kiddos learned not only what an earthquake is but what to do and where to go after! Yes even our infant and toddler rooms participated in this event! I don't want to brag but.. We were able to get our whole center evacuated in our meeting spot with NO issues! The kids loved learning and talking about this drill so ask your little what they thought! This had me thinking once again my family doesn't have an earthquake plan, we actually probably wouldn't even know what to do in case of an earthquake! If you're  like me then these tips will help you! Our center encourages all of our families to make emergency disaster plans! Even if you're not convinced of the likely hood of the situations, talk about them with your family. Try and be as prepared as you can!  Until next time, happy preparing! Love, your CC Blogger
