Great Shakeout Earthquake Drill Today

Today is the third Thursday of October, or put another way, today’s date is 10-15. That means at 10-15 this morning, Oregonians will participate in the annual earthquake drill known as The Great Shakeout. Paula Fasano-Negele (nayg-lee) at the state Office of Emergency Management, says everyone is asked to drop, cover and hold on during the drill. Fasano-Negele says the drill is also a perfect time for families to discuss and begin to prepare…not just for earthquakes…but for any natural disaster including wildfires and floods.
