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!
The Cal OES Earthquake Program is providing NEHRP funding to the Disaster Resistant Business Toolkit to host 2 webinars, the first on May 10, 2022 and the second on May 25, 2022, to provide businesses with a tool to prepare for earthquakes and reduce potential earthquake impacts. This no-cost webinar provides free resources, including a new mobile tool to aid in planning business resilience.
Below is information about a Resilient Workplace Webinar, being offered twice, which we are sharing with you on behalf of the Cal OES Earthquake, Tsunami, and Volcano Program.
Please share this with others in your network who may be interested in participating in these webinars.

Each year, the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) applies to FEMA for NEHRP state assistance, a portion of which is then subawarded to the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) to administer ECA’s earthquake education, outreach, and mitigation activities. Additional ECA activities are supported through SCEC’s funding from NSF and USGS, and at times other sponsors.

Following a damaging earthquake, the California Post-Earthquake Clearinghouse is a location where engineers, geologists, seismologists, sociologists, economists, and other professionals who arrive in the affected area can become part of a larger, temporary organization (the Clearinghouse) to facilitate and coordinate the gathering of information and maximize its availability.
The Seismic Hazards Branch, Earthquake and Tsunami Program is pleased to announce through our partnership with the California Geological Survey (CGS), Virtual Workshops to learn more about the California Earthquake Clearinghouse. The Earthquake Clearinghouse is activated by CGS shortly after an earthquake event in coordination with the Earthquake and Tsunami Program. Agency Representatives from CGS and Cal OES coordinate in the State Operations Center to provide important time-sensitive field information.
You are invited to attend a workshop to learn more about the California Earthquake Clearinghouse. The Clearinghouse facilitates the gathering and dissemination of post-earthquake information collected by scientists, engineers, sociologists, and economists conducting field investigations in the affected area. The Clearinghouse was most recently activated following the 2019 Ridgecrest Earthquake Sequence.
This two-hour virtual workshop will include presentations from the California Geological Survey, the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, and the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services.
By attending this workshop, you will learn:
• How the clearinghouse works and when it is activated
• Who is involved in the Clearinghouse
• How field investigation information is collected and shared
• How the Disaster Service Worker Program applies to Clearinghouse volunteers
• What the Safety Assessment Program (SAP) is and how its mission differs from the Clearinghouse

The California Post-Earthquake Information Clearinghouse was established in 1972 to provide State and Federal disaster response managers, affected agencies, and the scientific community with prompt information on ground failure, structural damage, and other consequences of a significant seismic event. The California Geological Survey serves of Chair of the Clearinghouse and EERI serves as Vice Chair. The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, USGS, and the California Seismic Safety Commission serve as managing partners for the Clearinghouse.
