LAFD Encourages You To Participate in The Great ShakeOut
Sunday, October 15, 2023
LAFD Spokesperson: Brian Humphrey
LOS ANGELES-
You are invited to join firefighters, their families and millions of others who will “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” on October 19th at 10:19 AM (your local time) in the 2023 International ShakeOut!
Participating is a great way for your family or organization to become better prepared to survive and recover quickly from a big earthquake.
Why is “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” important to practice? You may only have seconds to protect yourself in an earthquake before strong shaking knocks you down, or something falls on you. Practicing helps you be ready to react.
We also recommend updating your home, school and workplace plans and supplies - and secure your space, in order to prevent damage and injuries when, not if a significant earthquake occurs.
