Districtwide Earthquake Drill – October 16, 2025
Get Ready to ShakeOut!
On Thursday, October 16, 2025, CRPUSD will participate in a districtwide earthquake drill as part of the Great ShakeOut. This important safety exercise is being conducted in partnership with Rohnert Park Public Safety, Cotati Police, Sonoma State University, the City of Cotati, the City of Rohnert Park, and North Bay Security.
The purpose of the drill is to ensure that our students and staff know how to respond quickly and safely in the event of an earthquake.
