At 10:18am on October 18, 2012, Nisga’a Lisims Government along with other organizations such as Village Governments, schools within each Nisga’a village, Nisga’a Valley Health Authority and even the Headstart/Nusery Schools participated in the Great British Columbia ShakeOut - an annual earthquake preparedness exercise.

The 'Drop, Cover & Hold On' exercise was a great opportunity to promote awareness on the importance of being prepared. Many participating staff had fun, but also took the time to debrief on the overall exercise.

Shakeout is an annual event so be sure to register your organization, school or family to participate next year by registering at the Shakeout website.  Check out this link to review additional information regarding this event www.shakeoutbc.ca

Way to go all participants!
