The Great California ShakeOut!






A statewide “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” drill will occur Thursday, October 15, 2009, at 10:15 am. Feel free to participate in this drill along with millions of other Californians. The purpose of the California ShakeOut is to practice how to protect ourselves during earthquakes, and to get prepared at work, school, and home.

We encourage you to closely evaluate your surroundings, at work and home, while in transit, or wherever you could be, should a major earthquake occur.

To assist you, the detailed informational earthquake preparedness booklet, Putting down Roots in Earthquake Country, located here in both English and Spanish. If you only read a part of this, please begin at The Seven Steps to Earthquake Safety, starting on page seven.

Please feel free to contact Ward Preparedness Specialists Mark and Kirsten Reeder with any questions you may have.
