In April each year the State of Utah schedules a state wide earthquake drill.  The purpose for this event is to encourage schools to become better prepared for a major earthquake.  Nebo School District teaches the Drop, Cover and Hold-On (DCH) instruction recommenced by the USOE and state emergency managers. 

Our Spanish Oaks Elementary drill was a huge success.  We did find that getting under cover was easy; it was getting back out that was tricky, especially for the adults :)
