5 Million People Getting Ready to ShakeOut!
from Cert-LA
In less than a week, at 10 a.m. on November 13, over 5 million Southern Californians, wherever they are a the time, will take part in the largest earthquake preparedness activity in U.S. history! The ShakeOut is a chance to practice drop, cover, and hold on so that we will be ready to protect ourselves in earthquakes. There is still time to register if you have not yet. Go to http://www.shakeout.org/register/ |
 New! ShakeOut Drill Broadcasts and other videos
Audio and video recordings are now available to
download and play during the ShakeOut Drill. The
recordings include instructions for what to do
during earthquakes, and provide an experience of
how long shaking would last during a big
earthquake. In addition, a remarkable new short
film, "Preparedness Now" vividly depicts the
consequences of the ShakeOut earthquake and how
we must all prepare now. Go to http://www.shakeout.org/drill/broadcast.html
After Shock: Continue to Experience the ShakeOut after the Drill!
Participate in After Shock—the world's first
massively collaborative disaster simulation,
about a major earthquake affecting us all in
Southern California. Starting Nov 13, 2008 at
10:02am, you'll experience the earthquake as if
it's just occurred, and what happens over the
next few weeks. How do we survive? Can our region
recover and rebuild? - it will all be up to
you. Sign up today at www.aftershock.net
