Don't run for the door. A real earthquake will be too violent. Just get under your desk, next to the wall or chair. That will break the full force of anything falling that may hit you.


Most people are injured by falling objects, often after leaving the building.


So practice.
At 10:21 today - drop, cover and hold on.

Tune to KNX 1070 AM radio for a live earthquake drill broadcast to kick off the drill or download the broadcast audio from www.shakeout.org/drill/broadcast/index.html.


  • DROP to the ground (before the earthquake drops you!),
  • Take COVER by getting under a sturdy desk or table, and
  • HOLD ON to it until the shaking stops.
