This morning at 10:16 all schools in the district (except Ocean Park who did their drill earlier) participated in the Great Shakeout annual earthquake and tsunami drill. At Ocean Park, students and staff did the drill followed by the evacuation to Z street. At Long Beach, students and staff from the school, district office, and the preschool evacuated to the second floor of Long Beach. At IHS and Hilltop students got to drop, cover, and hold, but did not have to evacuate as those schools are above the tsunami inundation zone.
