At 10:18am on October 18, 2012, Nisga’a Lisims Government along with other organizations such as Village Governments, schools within each Nisga’a village, Nisga’a Valley Health Authority and even the Headstart/Nusery Schools participated in the Great British Columbia ShakeOut - an annual earthquake preparedness exercise.
The 'Drop, Cover & Hold On' exercise was a great opportunity to promote awareness on the importance of being prepared. Many participating staff had fun, but also took the time to debrief on the overall exercise.
