In an effort to be prepared for an earthquake disaster scenario, schools across the state of California participate in The Great Shakeout every year. Cathedral City High School takes the event to a new level through the Health & Environmental Academy of Learning (HEAL). HEAL students and staff work with community first responders to construct a realistic simulation of a disaster, including search and rescue missions and medical assistance provided by CERT certified students.
This year, a team of 10 DATA sophomores collaborated with HEAL to document the unique event.
