On Wednesday, October 16, the Anchorage Ahtna Office participated in The Great Alaska ShakeOut (www.shakeout.org/alaska). First the group attended a training session on earthquake preparedness led by shareholder and Compliance Specialist Tina Chapman. She introduced Ahtna’s new SHEP Program Director, Drew Laughlin, then ran through a practice drill including evacuating outside.

Ahtna is constantly looking for ways to improve its equipment and procedures for the health and safety of its employees, and has recently installed evacuation maps at many locations throughout the building, as well as added a central phone emergency announcement procedure.
