Shakeout

October 20th was the Great California Shakeout Exercise.

The main goal of the ShakeOut is to get Californians prepared for major earthquakes, so use the ShakeOut as an opportunity to learn what to do before, during, and after an earthquake. Visit http://www.earthquakecountry.info/roots/seven_steps.html for tips on how to prepare, protect, and recover. Another excellent resource is http://earthquake.usgs.gov/prepare/.
