Yesterday’s earthquake is a good reminder that we still need to be prepared for any emergency situation.
Check your red emergency bag under your desk – refill your water bottle, check the date on your muesli bar or other non perishable food you have in there.
Check you have colleagues mobile numbers in your phone so you can check everyone is OK. Keep your phone charged.
Make sure you are familiar with the emergency procedures, especially if you are new to UC within last few years and not quake savvy.
Safety and wellbeing of staff is the most important thing. Hopefully you have all had a good chat and debrief this morning to make sure everyone is OK.
FYI – Central library had about 100 books on the floor, mainly on level 4. EPS had about 20 books on the floor on levels 2-3. Education had a couple of books on the floor.

Thanks Jenny, Where is the emergency procedures/ information located?
UC Emergency Procedures are in a flipchart and located on a board with map by most emergency exits/doors and there should also be a copy in staff areas. Ask your Health & Safety rep is you are unsure.
Hi Jenny
Are there still emergency bags available? If so, where do I get one?
Contact Jacqui Lyttle if you need a bag. See this page about the Emergency Kit bags and ideas of what to put in it. http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/emergency/kits.shtml
