Earthquakes - ShakeOut Drill

Earthquakes are usually caused by the movement of a land mass moving past another land mass. The sudden release of built up energy sends seismic waves out in all directions. The more powerful ones can cause significant damage.

February commemorates Earthquake Awareness Month.
In 2003, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security launched a national public service campaign, Ready.gov, to and empower Americans to prepare for, respond to, and mitigate emergencies, hazards, and threats.

Earthquake drill will take place - Participation is encouraged.
