The Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drill

October 19, 2021

The Great ShakeOut is on October 21, 2021. At 10:21 am you'll receive a Caltech Alert to practice your "Drop, Cover, and Hold on" in your workplace, class, or your home. You can enhance your drill, by playing audio created by ShakeOut.org.

Practice with us, so you can protect yourself later during a real earthquake.

After the drill, participate in a virtual presentation from 12-1pm by Caltech's own, Margaret Vinci, Manager, Office of Earthquake Programs, Communications & Outreach and SoCal ShakeAlert Regional Coordinator. Margaret will be presenting on the earthquake threat in California and what you can do to prepare.
