On Thursday, October 19, 2023 at 10:19am, all Norco College employees are encouraged to participate in the California ShakeOut, the world’s largest earthquake drill.

Major earthquakes may happen anywhere you live, work, go to school or even travel. The ShakeOut is our chance to practice how to protect ourselves, and for everyone to become prepared.

At 10:19am on October 19, a RAVE notification will be sent through text message and email. When you receive the message, please DROP, COVER AND HOLD ON for one minute. It is also recommended that you review your evacuation route away from the building by locating the evacuation map near each entry and exit door.

Safety is the College’s top priority. Let’s continue to do our part to ensure a safe learning and working environment.
