Tomorrow, Thursday, October 18th at 10:18 A.M., millions of people will “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” during the International Great ShakeOut Drill, the world's largest earthquake drill.

Everyone is encouraged to participate and inform others about the drill: Talk to a neighbor; text a friend; send a quick email to someone at work; share information and links on your Facebook page. Whatever you can do to inspire preparedness, make it count on #ShakeOut day, Thursday, October 18th.

Earthquakes can happen anywhere: at home, at work, at school, EVEN WHILE ON VACATION! ShakeOut is a chance to prepare yourself, your family, and your organization by practicing protective actions to take during earthquakes and many other aspects of your emergency plans.
