The public evergreen emergency response is very barebones, for general emergencies you are supposed to check the main homepage, tune in to KAOS radio, call the main phone number, and call evergreen police. Evergreens emergency response page also has a section for people with disabilities! Its one whole sentence telling them to make their own plan, How nice! (<sarcasm) there is a link to specifically active shooter response and earthquake response, shooter response is the same as most establishments and so is the earthquake response but there is a section for extra hazards for earthquakes. Those would be the chemical containers in laboratory spaces and the natural gas lines. Also only on the evergreen earthquake response page is the information for long term emergencies which tells us that evergreen has emergency food stores for up to a week.

Evergreen emergency response after the sky turns red
When the sky turns red the glass in windows shatter from the frequency of the sky and mist. As everyone takes in the damage a thick fog drifts in so thick we cannot see into the woods or down the road, its almost like were above the clouds. We try to check for any news but there is no service or wifi, kaos is still running but it seems like the host is preoccupied. We cannot see the ground even though we are only on the third floor and so we cautiously check the stairwells and help each other down to the first floor and when we look out the window we can only barely see einsteins if we squint.
For those of us already in our rooms and asleep, we are startled and wake up to the fog. Emergency procedure dictates that you leave a building after an earthquake, and its decided that an earthquake is as close as were getting to whatever this is. Students wait outside for hours, 911 isn’t able to be contacted which is really weird because you can call 911 even if you don’t have service. As the night goes on everyone decides that it would be best to gather in the hcc seeing as its not locked up and while the windows are broken, there are blinds, some people decide to gather blankets from dorms to cover the windows to retain heat. When morning comes and calls still aren’t being picked up and we still cant contact emergency services, we decide to go to the greenery because they are supposed to have emergency food, however the cab building is locked and so we have to break in.
We only have about a week of emergency food, but because power is out, people in the apartments bring refrigerated and frozen food to be eaten before it goes bad, this along with the reduced student count helps stretch food to around 2 ½. We are insanely lucky that the only thing that broke was the glass.
