GET READY TO SHAKEOUT!


Millions of people worldwide practice how to
Drop, Cover, and Hold On each year during Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills!

Utahns can join them by registering today for the Great Utah ShakeOut. The 2017 Utah ShakeOut Day of Action is on April 20, though you can register to hold your ShakeOut drill on any day of the year.

Participating is a great way for your family or organization to be prepared to survive and recover quickly from big earthquakes – wherever you live, work, or travel.
