The Great California ShakeOut
Major earthquakes may happen anywhere you work, live, or travel in California. The Great California ShakeOut is our chance to practice together how to protect ourselves, and for everyone to become prepared. The goal is to save lives and prevent disasters from becoming catastrophes.
So, on October 18, 2011 at 10:18 am (10:18 on 10/18!) UCR is urging you to participate along with fellow students, faculty and staff, and millions of other Californians in what will be the largest earthquake drill in history! Classroom, office space, outdoors, it doesn’t matter. You can Drop, Cover, and Hold On anywhere you are!

| What: | Drop, Cover, and Hold On |
| When: | 10/18/11 at 10:18 a.m. |

“The Great California ShakeOut” is an annual event held on the third Thursday of October every year. In 2011, nearly 8.6 million Southern Californians joined in “The Great California ShakeOut” and this year, with 9.3 Californians already registered to participate, the drill is going to be even bigger! "The Great California ShakeOut" continues to grow every year into the largest emergency drill in history!
