Emergency Preparedness
"The Great California ShakeOut began in 2008, as the Great Southern California ShakeOut, an effort to educate the public about emergency management during a large earthquake. It was the largest earthquake drill in U.S. history at the time with a total of 5.4 million participants spanning eight counties in the southern part of the state.
In 2009, the ShakeOut expanded to include the entire state of California - al 58 counties, divided into 11 areas. More than 6.9 million Californians participated, practicing DROP, COVER and HOLDON and other aspects of family, school and organizational emergency plans."
