The Great Hawai‘i ShakeOut is happening this Thursday, October 20th at 10:20 a.m. HST. This international earthquake preparedness drill aims to raise earthquake safety awareness and encourage the public to practice the three safety steps during a simulated earthquake at their workplace, school, or home.

The drill is held simultaneously across each time zone worldwide. More than 24,000 people have signed up thus far.  HI-EMA has been running a social media campaign to encourage even more people to register through #DropCoverHoldOn.

“We may only have seconds to protect ourselves when an earthquake happens,” said Luke Meyers, administrator of HI-EMA in a press release. Meyers continued, “Much of the danger comes from debris and falling objects, not the shaking of the earthquake alone. Practicing how to respond when a quake strike helps us stay safe.”

For more information and to register visit https://www.shakeout.org/hawaii/index.html.
