Schoolhouse delivers realistic earthquake simulations on both the vertical and horizontal plane.
Vertical and horizontal movements are restricted to 12 inches, and G-force movements are held to 0.5g for safety reasons. The YBS presentation includes an animated videotape presentation staring Yogi Bear who leads the participant through the exercise. The elementary school program involves a two-step procedure that addresses both the cognitive and affective domains. First a comprehensive study program is sent to the school, and the students take part in a study program on earthquake safety. This study program runs approximately one week.
