shift hours missed due to inclement weather will need to be made-up. Additionally, a site supervisor<br />
may close a site at their discretion. Off-site clinics will also close when the host institution is closed.<br />

EARTHQUAKE RESPONSE PLAN<br />
When an earthquake occurs, drop to the floor and take cover under a sturdy desk or table, or stand<br />
under an interior or exterior door frame. Hold on to the desk or table, as it might be moving. If a desk<br />
or table is not available, seek cover against an interior wall and protect your head and neck with your<br />
arms. Avoid danger spots such as windows, mirrors, hanging objects, or tall furniture that could topple<br />
over.<br />
If treating a patient, stop any procedure you are performing immediately, Remove acupuncture needles<br />
or other equipment from the patient. Help the patient to the floor, and get the patient to a safe area<br />
under a table or in an internal doorway. Do not take cover without attempting to assist patients who<br />
cannot help themselves. Once the shaking has stopped, depart the building immediately, via the safest,<br />
closest emergency exit.<br />
If conditions are not hazardous, floor safety wardens will sweep the clinic. Students, staff, and patients<br />
will meet in the safe zone to await instructions from the Medical Director, Facilities Manager or their<br />
designees. On campus, instructions will be provided by the Director of Facilities and Safety or the<br />
Director’s designee.<br />
