ReplyDeleteThis article is talked about when Provo occur earthquake what we have to follow at the BYU, and they suggested us to keep some food which can eat 3days to 4days in the storages. Moreover, if we join BYU disaster center, they will send a massage when Provo have earthquake quickly. The bottom line is that we should hide under a desk when we have earthquake.
ReplyDeleteThis article talks about BYU has plans from text messages to earthquake preparedness to keep students safe. The BYU's emergency text messaging service will send out a text with instructions and information to all of students when a matural disaster happen. Also, it is very important to prepare your own food storage, and it should support you for three or four days. I think that this is a news wealth because it remind us to prepare for some emergencies.

ReplyDeleteThis article talked about the BUY's text emergency system. The system gives students instructions when a disaster occurs. Also, BUY homepage will be changed into an information channel. BUY encourages its students to register their mobile number to sure that they get instructions.
ReplyDeleteThis news tells us that BYU provides emergency text messaging service, and students can register for the service with an available phone number that school can contact with. One of BYU students confirmed the system works well because he had received the text before, it gave good instructions for students to follow. The other thing that is mentioned in this news is food storage. one of BYU spokeswoman said students need to prepare their own food, and should not depend on or hope that BYU would provide food for them. I think food storage is important, and everyone should have prepared by their own. I am from Taiwan. We have lots of typhoons and earthquakes in Taiwan. From these experiences that I had, I knew if natural disasters happen, food storage is one of critical issue that people can survive.
