Time to ShakeOut!

International ShakeOut Day

International ShakeOut Day is set for Thursday, Oct. 15! Throughout the day, businesses are encouraged to practice earthquake preparedness safety measures.

With further challenges stemming from COVID-19, this year it is as important as ever to know how to safely respond to earthquakes at home, in the workplace, at school or on the job site.
