FLORENCE: 541-997-7617 1525 12th Street, Suite 2 DROP, COVER, HOLD until the shaking stops; then get your “grab and go bag” and evacuate preferably on foot to an assembly area. However, if you must drive make sure you always keep your gas tank at least half fi lled. Be sure to tune into 106.9 FM KCST as the local emergency broadcast station for further information. The rule of thumb is if there is violent shak- ing and it lasts more than 10 seconds once the shaking stops – evacuate immediately if you are in a low lying inundation zone area.
