Dear ̽��app Community:

Like many of you, this morning we received an alert regarding a series of strong earthquakes in Humboldt County and the waters off of the Humboldt coast, an associated tsunami warning, and a subsequent evacuation order for some parts of Berkeley.��

We are relieved to see that the evacuation order for Berkeley was rescinded at 12:04 pm.��

We were in contact with the Berkeley Police Department throughout this incident, and they confirmed that no Berkeley Unified schools were in the evacuation zone.��

Some ̽��app staff-only facilities did require evacuation though, and we worked to quickly move our staff at these facilities. Out of an abundance of caution, we also worked to plan for school evacuations, should they become necessary.��

All of our schools remained open, conducting our day as usual. All students and staff are safe and all ̽��app schools and programs are open and continue to operate.

We are happy that everyone is safe and appreciate everyone’s cooperation.

Enikia Ford Morthel
Superintendent

Estimada comunidad de ̽��app:

��Como muchos de ustedes, esta mañana recibimos una alerta sobre una serie de fuertes terremotos en el condado de Humboldt y las aguas de la costa de Humboldt, una advertencia de tsunami asociada y una posterior orden de evacuación para algunas partes de Berkeley.

��Nos sentimos aliviados al ver que la orden de evacuación de Berkeley fue revocada a las 12:04 p.m.��

��Estuvimos en contacto con el Departamento de Policía de Berkeley durante todo este incidente y confirmaron que ninguna escuela del Distrito Unificado de Berkeley estaba en la zona de evacuación.

��Sin embargo, algunas instalaciones exclusivas para el personal del ̽��app requirieron evacuación, y trabajamos para trasladar rápidamente a nuestro personal a estas instalaciones. Por precaución, también trabajamos para planificar evacuaciones escolares, en caso de que fueran necesarias.

��Todas nuestras escuelas permanecieron abiertas y continuaron con su jornada escolar como siempre. Todos los estudiantes y el personal están a salvo y todas las escuelas y programas del ̽��app están abiertos y siguen funcionando.

��Nos alegra que todos estén bien y agradecemos la cooperación de todos.

��
