Today will be the largest Earthquake drill. The ShakeOut Drill is scheduled for 10 AM on November 13, 2008. This means that wherever you are at that moment - at home, at work, at school, anywhere - you should Drop, Cover, and Hold On as if there were a major earthquake occurring at that very moment. There will not be any freeway closures, power outages, or other simulated effects of the hypothetical earthquake, unless your local government or utility company specifically notifies you about something of this nature. The ShakeOut is not something you need to leave work to participate in - in fact, participating at work is one of the best ways you can spread the word about the ShakeOut and earthquake preparedness in general.
I wish I had my
Flip camera to film the drill. It should prove to be funny.
