General Guidelines for Earthquakes:
Indoors: Drop, cover, and hold on. Drop to the floor, take cover under a sturdy desk or table, and hold on to it firmly. Be prepared to move with it until the shaking stops. If you are not near a desk or table, drop to the floor against the interior wall and protect your head and neck with your arms. Avoid exterior walls, windows, hanging objects, mirrors, tall furniture, large appliances, and kitchen cabinets with heavy objects or glass. Do not go outside! Adults should hold onto small children with them under tables or against a wall.
Outdoors: Move to a clear area if you can safely do so; avoid power lines, trees, signs, buildings, vehicles, and other hazards.
Driving: Pull over to the side of the road, stop, and set the parking brake. Avoid overpasses, bridges, power lines, signs and other hazards. Stay inside the vehicle until the shaking is over. If a power line falls on the car, stay inside until a trained person removes the wire.
Near the shore: Drop, cover and hold on until the shaking stops. Estimate how long the shaking lasts. If severe shaking lasts 20 seconds or more, immediately evacuate to high ground as a tsunami might have been generated by the earthquake. Move inland 3 kilometers (2 miles) or to land that is at least 30 meters (100 feet) above sea level immediately. Don't wait for officials to issue a warning. Walk quickly, rather than drive, to avoid traffic, debris and other hazards.
What NOT to do:
DO NOT get in a doorway! There is an early earthquake photo of a collapsed adobe home with the door frame as the only standing part. From this came our belief that a doorway is the safest place to be during an earthquake. In modern houses and buildings, doorways are no safer, and they do not protect you from flying or falling objects. Get under a table instead!
DO NOT run outside! Trying to run in an earthquake is dangerous, as the ground is moving and you can easily fall or be injured by debris or glass. Running outside is especially dangerous, as glass, bricks, or other building components may be falling. You are much safer to stay inside and get under a table.

1. Who must report on-the-job injuries?
ALL regular, temporary and substitute employees must report injuries on an Incident Report. All student injuries and injuries involving visitors must be reported as well. An incident report must be completed within 24 hours of the injury.
2. Who can file a worker's compensation claim?
Only employees of the NWRESD (regular, temporary and substitute). If you employed by the NWRESD and paid by NWRESD payroll, then you can file a claim. Vendors and contracted employees must file a claim through their own employer. There are some exceptions, so please contact Human Resources for details.
3. What do I do if I get hurt on the job?
The first thing you do is report the injury immediately. Tell your supervisor about the injury and how it happened. Then you and your supervisor should complete the incident report.
4. When do I file a Worker's Compensation Claim?
ONLY when you seek medical treatment. If you do not see a doctor, do not file a claim. However, always report an injury to your supervisor and complete an incident report for every injury, even if you don't need medical treatment.
If your injury is something that can be treated with simple first aid, you should do so at your site. It is only when you seek treatment from a medical professional that you should complete a worker's compensation claim. You have 60 days from the date of an injury to file a worker's compensation claim.
To file a claim, complete the 801 form. You complete the worker portion, then send the form in to Human Resources IMMEDIATELY via fax at 503-614-1628 or you can scan a completed, SIGNED copy and email it to Human Resources. The NWRESD has a small window in which they can legally send it over to SAIF, so the form is needed in HR as soon as possible.
5. What should I do when I seek medical treatment?
Tell your doctor on your FIRST visit that your injury happened on the job or that you believe that your illness is work-related. The doctor must tell you if there are any limits to the medical service he or she can provide. You can bring a copy of your 801 form, or be sure to tell your doctor that your worker's compensation carrier is SAIF.
6. How will I know if my claim has been accepted or denied?
SAIF will evaluate your claim and decide to accept or deny it. The decision must be made within 90 days. In some cases it will take 90 days to gather the medical or employment information needed to make a decision. If your claim is denied, youwill be given a specific amount of time in which you can appeal the decision.
You can also track your claim through SAIF's Manage Your Claim section of their website.
7. What are the medical benefits?
If your claim is accepted, your medical providers will be reimbursed for treatment related to your accepted condition. In Oregon, the amount of payment is determined by the Oregon Worker's Compensation Fee Schedule. It is available on SAIF's website.
8. Can I be charged for any medical treatment?
You can be charged for medical costs if:
- Treatment of conditions is not related to an accepted illness or injury
- Treatment has not been prescribed by your attending physician. This would include, but not be limited to, treatment of non-attending physicians that continues after SAIF has notified you to change.
- Palliative care, which is not covered by Worker's Compensation Law and not approved by SAIF. This includes most treatments after your have been declared medically stationary after your injury.
9. What do I do if my injury/illness requires that I lose time away from work?
You will need to provide medical documentation stating that you cannot work. Worker's compensation does not cover the first three days away from work, so you would have to use sick leave or other leave during that time. If you are away from work longer than three days and your claim has been accepted by SAIF, they will provide time loss compensation.
While you are away from work on Worker's Compensation leave, you MUST check in with your supervisor and/or Human Resources ONCE A WEEK to check in and give updates on your condition. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action.
Please read your Employee Rights and Responsibilities very carefully. You must fulfill your responsibilities or risk having your claim denied or facing disciplinary action.
10. Who do I contact if I have further questions?
Please contact Human Resources via Email or at 503-614-1280.
