In a letter to all District Superintendents in the State of Utah, the Utah Seismic Safety Commission stated that "Until advised otherwise by a national safety organization,
the Commission - based on provisional guidance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency
and its own technical judgment - recommends continuation of 'Duck, Cover and Hold' as an appropriate earthquake safety measure in Utah." This in response to E - Mails being sent to schools disparaging this practice in favor of the "Triangle of Life" as espoused by Mr. Doug Copp. He feels that individuals should disregard the "Duck, Cover and Hold" safety procedure or, as he puts it, "everyone will be crushed and will die". Read the full letter.
