At 10:20 a.m. on October 20, 2022, millions of
people will “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” in The
Great ShakeOut, the world’s largest earthquake
drill ever! All non-profit organizations are
encouraged to participate in the drill (or plan a
more extensive exercise) and to inform the public
about the drill.
Why? Because when the adrenaline kicks in, you may not act safely if you haven’t practiced the Drop, Cover, Hold On drill before that moment. Don’t wait until the shaking – register at ShakeOut.org/register to practice earthquake safety with your community.
Invite everyone who matters to you to register and ShakeOut on October 20th. Everyone is welcome to participate – individuals, families, businesses, schools, government agencies, and organizations!

Check-ins may discuss this topic or are encouraged to change the subject if they wish.
Membership in TARA is not required to participate in the Net.
