Wherever you are!
The Great California ShakeOut is Fast Approaching, October 16th, at 10:16AM!
On Thursday, October 16 at 10:16 AM, our Agency will join over 9 million across California in the Great ShakeOut earthquake drill. This is our chance to pause and practice the simple, lifesaving steps: Drop, Cover, and Hold On.
Come join your preparedness partners for an engaging event filled with safety demonstrations, activities for children, emergency vehicle tours, food, free giveaways and more!
We’ll be there along with the County Public Health Department, Fire Department, Office of Emergency Services along with community organizations such as La Clinica and many more.
When it comes to emergencies, we’re all in this together—and the Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management (DPEM) Team remains one of the many important partners in preparing you and those you care about.
Stay alert. Stay prepared. Stay safe. —Your DPEM Team | Office of Public Affairs
