The Great California ShakeOut! | |
It’s always a good time to prepare for an earthquake, because what we do to prepare now will determine how well we can survive and recover from the next big earthquake. Join us and millions of people across California on Thursday, October 20th at 10:20 AM, to participate in the largest earthquake drill ever, the Great California ShakeOut.
The goal of the Great ShakeOut is to save lives and prevent disasters from becoming catastrophes. Earthquakes can happen anytime and anywhere you work, live, or travel, which is why everyone, everywhere should know how to protect themselves should an earthquake occur. The Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drill is our chance to practice together and to inspire others to become prepared.
