With the San Jacinto Fault running right under San Bernardino County, an earthquake drill is always a good idea.
Loma Linda University Health is holding such a drill Wednesday, June 29, and to get employees involved, the department of environmental health and safety is holding an educational selfie contest. The prize is a one-person, three-day basic emergency kit that will be given to two winners per Loma Linda entity.
What to do? Follow the process one would take for self-protection during an earthquake. Drop to the ground, take cover under something sturdy, hold on.
Then selfie.
“Show us proof that you know the drill when it comes to earthquake response,” says emergency management specialist Joe Bruno.
“Our main objective is to encourage personal preparedness and safety,” adds Cambria Boyer, emergency management specialist.
Submit your selfie using this form starting at 8:29 a.m. Wednesday, June 29 — not before. Entries will be accepted until 8:29 a.m. Thursday, June 30.
There are two categories — safest selfie and most creative selfie.
Include your entity name in the subject line (LLU, LLUMC, LLUCH, LLUHC, LLUSS, LLUMC Murrieta, LLUBMC). Additionally, your name, department, phone number and contest category should be in the body of the email. One entry per person per category. Winning photos and other interesting shots will be posted online and in social media.
