Earthquake preparedness is a serious matter, and California is once again demonstrating a commitment to making sure residents are prepared in the event of an earthquake.
The Great California ShakeOut 2009 is set for this Thursday, October 15th, at 10:15 am, with over 6.5 million already registered to participate in the largest earthquake drill ever (last year's event, the first, had almost 5.5 million taking part in drills at home, at work, in schools and a wide range of communities establishments).
- Register to participate in the earthquake drill statewide, and be counted in the total of participants.
- To make it even more real life, a number of radio and TV stations will play audio and video "drill broadcasts".
- Learn more about your particular area, including details about nearby faults; here are the details about San Diego (with almost 500,000 registered to participate) and locations in San Diego that are participating. Not many folks realize that San Diego also has a fault (the Rose Fault) which is little known because of the lack of any activity for many years.
Why not learn more about Drop Cover and Hold On and the reasons behind this strategy for protecting yourself in an earthquake, even if you decide to not participate, or can't for some reason.
Here is the Great California ShakeOut 2009 information IN SPANISH.
And for those interested in learning about specific earthquakes that have occurred in California and neighboring Nevada recently, check out this earthquake map. Information is generally posted within an hour or so of an earthquake.
