Tomorrow, November 13, 2008, at 10 AM join us as Carlsbadistan along with millions of Southern Californians will be taking part in The Great Southern California Shake Out, an earthquake preparedness drill organized by a collaboration of nonprofit, business, government and education partners within the Earthquake Country Alliance.
Just as with anything, to act quickly you must practice, practice, practice. In a big earthquake, there may be very little time to protect yourself before strong shaking knocks you down or drops something on you. Most earthquakes have a sharp jolt a few seconds before the strong shaking, and we need to Drop, Cover, Hold On immediately when we feel the jolt. By practicing we will act quickly, rather than waiting to see if the earthquake will be large. If it is, it may be too late to protect yourself.
How ironic would it be if there really was an earthquake tomorrow at 10 AM? Everyone would be prepared. Follow the link to sign-up and get more info.
