October and the Great ShakeOut

When: October 19th at 10:19am, people across the world will take part in the Great ShakeOut. Practice your drop, cover, and hold-on to prepare for the unexpected.

Below are more ways you can focus on earthquake safety in October.

Download and familiarize yourself with the MyShake app for early warnings and earthquake education. Seconds can make a difference in earthquakes.
Set your alarm for 10:19am on October 19th and practice the drop, cover, and hold-on drill. AFN recommendations here.
Gather with your neighbors and have a watch party! You can view a recording of a webinar we hosted with Earthquake Country Alliance last year, or watch a short video from the California Earthquake Authority on their 7 Steps to Earthquake Safety.
Learn about retrofit grant opportunities from the California Earthquake Authority and share with your neighbors.
Why not organize a gathering in October to sign neighbors up for MyShake, watch the 7 Steps to Earthquake Safety, and discuss local concerns? 25% of Marin County is over the age of 65. How can you support neighbors without digital access or who have access and functional needs before and after earthquakes?
