HEY Calif. nurses: what is protocol for earthquakes?

[katkonk, BSN, RN]

After reading the article about the 6.5 earthquake off the coast of northern CA today, and reading that

it shook up the area around the Crescent City facility, I was just curious as to what protocol in the corrections

facilities are if and when your facility is involved in a significant (okay, or even small) earthquake. Just wondering

what the staff does and what the inmates that are out, do. Knowing that the electrical fences are high voltage-wondering if the fences have ever been down...are they de-energized...etc.

I've dealt with the threat of tornadoes, hurricanes and floods. Never had to tackle earthquakes, and

without a doubt, that is the thing that is most unsettling to me.
