The Great British Columbia Shakeout Drill.
On October 20 at 10:20 a.m., thousands of people across BC will practice how to “Drop, Cover and Hold On” during Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills. British Columbians can join by registering for the 2016 Great British Columbia ShakeOut.
Participating is a great way for your family or organization to be prepared to survive and recover quickly from big earthquakes – wherever you live, work, or travel.
In any catastrophic scenario, all are encouraged to be prepared with emergency packs, supplies according to personal needs, at least two weeks of food and water and a family communication plan in place.
Materials, manuals, and planning documents are available here to support participation in ShakeOutBC, as well as increase earthquake awareness and preparedness.
