Mt. Rubidoux Convalescent Hospital

At Mt. Rubidoux Convalescent Hospital, the facility staff and residents all listened for an alarm to start their 2008 drill. All staff got down, covered and held on, and the residents stayed in their wheelchairs. After 90 seconds, the staff rolled the residents to an open area outside. Although the staff tried to make it a serious event, the residents thought it was fun, and asked if they could do it again tomorrow!
