Stories From The Great ShakeOut

Brandy Schmidt
(General Manager - Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites)

We had a great Shake Out! Not only did everyone partisipate but after the drill where we found suitable places to drop and tuck we were all able to share our earth quake experiances and we went to our laundry department, then to the lobby, to guest rooms so that where ever there is a guest or employee we all would know the best locations to get throgh an earth quake. We also toured the hotel looking for what could be obsticles and learned where our shut off valuves were for water and gas. We also learned how to use a fire extinguisher if there is need and we are going to take the CERT training through our city!
