Join Great Shake Out Oct. 17

Everyone has a chance to prepare for an earthquake at 10:17 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 17, when people across the state of Washington – and internationally – get to practice. Millions of people worldwide will participate in earthquake drills at work, school or home.

The Washington website from shakeout.org has webpages for “learn(ing) the latest,” planning your drill, checking the stats for finding that one million Washingtonians have signed up – and how many nationally and worldwide are participating – and apps for playing and sharing.

Register for and practice ShakeOut drills any day and drill at a time of your choice. Involve people in multiple locations through video conferencing.
