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 10:17am on October 17th 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.

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.
