Wake Up Call welcomes Lori Nezhura, the Deputy Director of Planning, Preparedness, and Prevention at California's Office of Emergency Services, to talk about the Great ShakeOut happening today!
The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) kicked off its Annual California Great ShakeOut Tour on October 11th in Sacramento. Cal OES invited the public to attend any one of seven different locations throughout the state to catch a ride on the "Shake Trailer," which simulates the intensity of up to a 7.0 magnitude earthquake.
The tour included stops in the following counties: Sacramento, San Francisco, Monterey, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Diego.
At the end of the tour, Cal OES encourages all Californians to take part in the Great ShakeOut Drill on October 19, 2023, at 10:19 am (PST) and join countless others as they demonstrate the correct technique of drop, cover, and hold on.
At each event location, Californians will be able to experience a simulated earthquake and engage with subject matter experts as they share information about Earthquake Early Warning technology and preparedness tips and recommend life-saving actions like drop, cover, and hold on.
