Emergency Preparedness
\n<\/span><\/strong>{Quake News}<\/em><\/span>
\n… especially<\/span> at<\/span> UV<\/span>i<\/span>c<\/span><\/span>!<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

How timely and ironic!\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

This morning I was updating my OAC Favourite and Useful UVic Links Page<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and was adding a new section on Emergency Preparedness. AND A MAGNITUDE 3.0 EARTHQUAKE RUMBLED THROUGH OAK BAY AT 8:45 AM! REALLY!<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>Even more details HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/span>!<\/p>\n

            BOO THIS MAN! BOO!<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I am pretty sure my colleagues thought I was crazy (often, a default!) but it was confirmed! So, whew, it was not ‘Fake News<\/strong><\/em><\/span>‘ …  it was … ‘Quake News<\/strong><\/span><\/em>‘! (I was actually ‘booed’ by a colleague for that joke!)<\/p>\n

I had started the morning updating my links as BC is now under Province Wide Restrictions<\/a><\/strong><\/span> (as of today, November 20, 2020<\/strong><\/em>) which includes mandatory mask wearing<\/strong><\/span> in Public Places – and that means AT UVic TOO!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

CHD staff are ALWAYS wearing their masks and wear gloves when cleaning or potentially touching high contact surfaces. AND especially when they are in ALL areas of UVic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
  BC Province Wide Restrictions – November 20, 2020<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I just want to say THANK YOU ALL  for doing this!<\/strong> <\/span><\/span> I think of it as a gift to everyone around me. I wear my mask even if I am outside my closed-door office, even for just a minute!<\/p>\n

The links below are all very important and useful, especially now and even especially today! Literally … TODAY<\/strong>! They are all posted at my OAC Favourite UVic Links Page<\/a><\/strong><\/span> too.<\/p>\n

Everyone stay safe and healthy, whether working at UVic or at home. <\/p>\n
