The Great Washington ShakeOut! Are You Ready? ShakeOut on October 20, 2022

International ShakeOut Day is always the third Thursday of October and millions of people in Washington take part each year. If you only take one day per year to think about how you can be more prepared for your earthquake and tsunami hazards, make it this one!

You can hold your ShakeOut drill when and where you want. You can even choose another date or several dates, and include people in multiple locations (home, work, or school), perhaps through video conferencing. Get creative with your ShakeOut participation!

If you live or work in a coastal area, ShakeOut day is also a perfect time to practice your tsunami evacuation routes: when you feel shaking or receive an alert through ShakeAlert: Drop, Cover, and Hold On – then get to high ground or inland! Learn more about tsunami preparedness and find great resources for your ShakeOut tsunami evacuation drill at TsunamiZone.org.
