How earthquake ready are you? Are you worried?

Chris Downie, EECS junior

I’m not really worried, but my roommate is. He says it was unseasonably rainy before the last big quake, so he thinks there’s gonna be another one soon.

Piero Marcolongo, IEOR/MSE senior

I’m not sure what I’d do if there was an earthquake, maybe run or duck or something. I won’t change my lifestyle for something like that.

Minerva Pillai, ME junior

I’d hide under something. All the buildings on campus are pretty earthquake safe so I’m not worried.

Raffi Sevlian, EECS junior

I have a big desk at home so I’d get under that. If a big quake happens, there will be no more school. I’m definitely not worried.
