ShakeOut Earthquake Drill 26 September 2012
Get ready to ShakeOut!

At 9.26am on Wednesday 26 September [9:26-26:9], join SWDC and one million other people in New Zealand taking part in the ShakeOut earthquake drill, the world’s first nation-wide ShakeOut drill and the biggest earthquake awareness campaign ever held in New Zealand.

New Zealand ShakeOut has been created to help people and organisations get better prepared for major earthquakes, and practice how to be protected when they happen. Everyone will practice "Drop, Cover and Hold"—the right action to take in an earthquake.

New Zealand ShakeOut also provides a fantastic opportunity for individuals, families, organisations and businesses to examine and review their own emergency preparedness arrangements. Families and households can create, review and practice their household plans.
