FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Nu Chapter Participates in Emergency Preparedness Drill

Berkeley, CA – June 17, 2010 – UC Berkeley’s annual emergency preparedness drill took place on the morning of Thursday, June 17th, with more than 700 people participating in activities both indoors and outdoors across the campus and in nearby areas.

Tau Kappa Epsilon was one of the campus affiliates that participated in the “Vigilance 2010″ drill, organized by the campus’s Office of Emergency Preparedness. The exercise was designed to ensure that the campus is ready to respond to a major emergency. This year’s scenario involves a magnitude 5.5 earthquake on the Hayward fault that leads to a hazardous material spill on campus.

This drill provided Tau Kappa Epsilon the perfect opportunity to test the new CalGreeks Emergency Plan, part of a wider CalGreeks preparedness imitative, pioneered and written by recently graduated Frater Anthony James Wright. The new plan goes into effect in August with the 2010-2011 school year.

Tau Kappa Epsilon would like to encourage all members of the UC Berkeley campus community to sign up for WarnMe and to view emergency preparedness tips.
