Great Washington ShakeOut

What is the Great ShakeOut? It’s the world’s largest earthquake drill, where on the third Thursday of October, millions of people around the globe practice Drop, Cover, and Hold on, the best way to protect yourself during an earthquake. 

Washington State has the second highest earthquake risk in the United States, so we encourage everyone in the state to understand the hazard, and think about how an earthquake might impact their daily lives.
