Drills will be conducted at work, school or home to practice earthquake safety and emergency planning.
Federal, state and local emergency management experts all agree that the best course of action to reduce injury and death is to "Drop, Cover and Hold On" during an earthquake. The ShakeOut gives the public an opportunity to practice these steps.
Those interested are encouraged to register for the ShakeOut drill. More information on how to be prepared for earthquakes and other disasters is available on beready.utah.gov.
