If you have not heard yet California is going to hold what it calls a "ShakeOut Drill". This drill will take place at 10:00 a.m. on November 13, 2008, millions of people in homes, schools, businesses, government offices and public places all over southern California will "Drop, Cover, and Hold On". They should not be the only ones all of us need to follow this practice and be ready. Calfornia knows one day it will have a enormous earthquake and this drill is a chance to practice what to do.
This drill is important to practice the game plan and that is to "Drop, Cover, Hold On". Why? 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" imediately when we feel the jolt.
Where ever you are I urge you to participate in this drill, to get more information please visit ShakeOut. And as always for your disaster and emergency supplies please visit us at
We will be back with more information on this enormous drill, talk to you soon.
