ShakeOut drill

The ShakeOut drill is a preparedness event where communities practice how to respond during a major earthquake. Participants "Drop, Cover, and Hold On" to protect themselves from falling objects and shaking hazards. The goal is to familiarize people with safety procedures, reduce panic, and improve response time in actual emergencies. Often held annually, the drill helps individuals, schools, businesses, and organizations reinforce earthquake safety plans, ensuring everyone knows how to stay safe and react effectively during a real quake.
