2016 Great ShakeOut set for this Oct. 20

At 10:20 a.m. on October 20, 2016, millions of people will “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” in the Great ShakeOut, the world’s largest earthquake drill. Everyone is encouraged to participate and inform others about the drill because earthquakes can occur at any time and happen anywhere: at home, at work, at school, or even on vacation. ShakeOut is a chance to prepare yourself, your family, and your organization by practicing protective actions to take during earthquakes and other aspects of your emergency plans. Register today so that you will:

– Be counted  in the largest-ever earthquake drill in the world!
– Be listed with other participants in your area. (Optional)
– Be an example that motivates others to participate & prepare.

Worldwide, more than 25 million people will participate in the ShakeOut.  CUSEC has led and participated in ShakeOut activities since 2011 in the Central U.S. and since 2012 in the SouthEast. To find out more and how to participate, visit www.shakeout.org.
