On February 7, 2012 at 10:15 a.m. CST, more than one million people across nine states will participate in the 2012 Great Central U.S. ShakeOut!
Why Participate? We all must get better prepared for major earthquakes, and practice how to protect ourselves when they happen. The purpose of the ShakeOut is to help people and organizations do both.
We all have reasons that we have, or have not, prepared for earthquakes. The box at lower right suggests reasons why you may choose to participate in the ShakeOut, links to how different groups can participate, and what is happening in your county.
There are many ways for individuals, businesses, schools, faith-based organizations, community groups, scouts, and others to participate in the ShakeOut, to get prepared for earthquakes, and to share what you’re doing with others so they can do the same.
