The 2011 Great British Columbia ShakeOut on October 20 at 10:20 a.m. is now six weeks away, and already more than 77,000 people are now registered.
Shakeout BC is now an annual drill, joining with California, Idaho, Oregon and other areas on the third Thursday of each October. We encourage you to participate again this October 20th, and each year from now on! Many participants practice additional aspects of their emergency plans each year.
Registered participants may want to consider these questions:
- If you are planning a drill for many people, is it on your organization’s calendar?
- What other emergency preparedness activities might your organization wish to include as part of this year’s drill?
- What preparedness actions can you also take prior to ShakeOut day? Simple instructions for how to participate are available for a variety of ShakeOut participant categories, and include custom preparedness information.
