Each October, millions of people worldwide take part in the Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drill to practice how to stay safe when the ground starts shaking. During the drill, remember the three key steps: Drop, Cover, and Hold On.

Drop to your hands and knees, cover your head and neck under a sturdy table or desk (or with your arms if nothing is nearby), and hold on until the shaking stops. Practicing now means you’ll know what to do instinctively in a real earthquake.

 📅 October 16 | 🕙 10:16 a.m. | 🫨 ♒︎ Shake Out!
