Dear Parents,
Below is a follow-up email regarding the earthquake that occurred last Friday.
OLM is equipped with two ground sensors connected to the University of British Columbia’s early warning system. If the distance and magnitude of an earthquake does not meet the required thresholds to activate our system then the alarm will not ring.
Our system is designed to prevent unnecessary alarms for smaller tremors that do not pose a risk to life or property. This ensures that warnings are issued only for significant seismic events that require immediate action.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the staff for paying attention to safety protocols and for their continued diligence in keeping our community safe.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Grout
