It should never be out of the back of our minds that The Big One will happen and we should be prepared.
This year, the Great Canadian Shake Out earthquake preparedness drill occurs on October 20th, at 10:20 a.m. That’s the time when British Columbian’s should practice what to do when an earthquake hits.
For more information, visit www.shakeoutbc.ca and register yourself for participation. There are lots of resources on that website to help you prepare. Local radio stations will be broadcasting the sounds of an earthquake at 10:20 on the Thursday, Oct. 20th, to simulate what you will hear when it really happens.
Join in and drill! Drop, Cover and Hang On!
