International ShakeOut Day was October 17 — over 58.2 million participants registered to take part.
Participating in the ShakeOut Earthquake Drill is an excellent step toward building greater resilience. Keep up the momentum by sharing preparedness information with your network and encouraging everyone to take at least one more resilience-building action this month, such as doing a home hazard hunt, securing their space, developing a business continuity plan, organizing disaster kits, and asking an insurance agent about their earthquake insurance options.
