At 10:00 a.m. on January 26, 2011, thousands of British Columbians will “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” in The Great British Columbia ShakeOut, the largest earthquake drill in BC history! Everyone is encouraged to participate in the drill (or plan a more extensive exercise)
The ShakeOut drill is our chance to practice how to protect ourselves, and for everyone to become prepared. The goal is to prevent disasters from becoming catastrophes and to enhance public awareness of the earthquake hazard, encourage personal preparedness and practice how to protect themselves.
The ShakeOut BC Organizing Committee is encouraging individuals and organizations to register at www.shakeoutbc.ca to be counted in the drill, promote the drill within their community and have staff participate on drill day.
