Highline needs to prepare Highline is in an active earthquake zone but will not be making all students participate in a global earthquake drill. We are located where two parts of the earth’s surface hit each other. The collision is what causes the earthquakes. Today Oct. 16, at 10:16 a.m. will be The Great Shakeout Earthquake Drill. Highline will not be fully participating in this much-needed drill. It is not only limited to colleges in regards to participating in the earthquake drill. More than 24 million people are registered worldwide to be included in the drill. If all of those people feel it is important enough to participate, why isn’t all of Highline participating? Only staff in buildings 1, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 15, 18, 25, 30 and 99 will be participating. Two excuses were given for why all of Highline is not required to do the earthquake drill. College officials said that the drill will occur during the middle of the day and would disturb too many classes. Is education more important than our safety? They also said we don’t have enough time to plan for an earthquake drill on campus for everyone. We aren’t prepared to be prepared. If an earthquake were to hit, we wouldn’t have time to plan so why are we not prepared to prepare? Not preparing for an earthquake because we aren’t prepared Breakups can be good for you for the drill was not a good decision on the administration’s part.
