Emergency Preparedness

OGDEN — As the sound of tremors spread across MarLon Hills Elementary School around 10:15 a.m. Tuesday, students in Felicia Bedwell’s fourth-grade class ducked under their desks and held on.

After a minute, Bedwell ushered her students into the hallway as other classrooms emptied out. When they heard another rumbling sound, the children crouched against the wall.
