October 20 at 10:20 a.m, the Office of Emergency Management will be practicing how to Drop, Cover and Hold On. Join us in the Great Washington Shakeout! This is a great way to be prepared to survive and recover quickly from big earthquakes – wherever you live, work or travel.
Everyone can participate! Individuals, families, businesses, schools, government agencies and organizations are all invited. Go to http://www.shakeout.org/washington/index.html to learn how to be ready and register to participate with hundreds of thousands of other Washingtonians. There will be a small display on the 1st floor of the Terrell Library this week providing information on how to register and the importance of being prepared for an earthquake at home and at work.
