The Great California Shakeout
Huge earthquakes shook Samoa and Indonesia in the past few days. Scientists predict the Big One in Northern California within the next 30 years.
A large scale, fire/earthquake drill is taking place on October 15, at 10:15 AM when everyone is being encouraged to “Drop, Cover and Hold On” as though you were experiencing a major earthquake at that moment.
Hundreds of cities around the country, including Oakland, will participate in this annual event. The purpose is to prepare Californians for a significant earthquake before it happens. For information, go to “The Great California Shakeout.”
