Each year more than 25 million people participate in Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills worldwide, in K-12 schools, colleges, businesses, government agencies, other organizations, and households.
Participants practice "Drop, Cover, and Hold On” (and other aspects of their emergency plans):
- DROP to the ground (before the earthquake drops you!),
- COVER your head and neck with your arms and seek additional shelter by getting under a sturdy desk or table if nearby; and
- HOLD ON to your shelter and be prepared to move with it until the shaking stops.
This year's International Shakeout Day is October 17, 2024.
At 10:17 a.m. (local time) you can join millions of people across California practicing earthquake safety.
