Our annual chance to work our "muscle memory" and prepare for the next earthquake is Thursday October 18 at 10:18 a.m. The Great Shakeout is a worldwide earthquake drill that started in California.

Humboldt State University Geosciences instuctor Amanda Admire and HSU Geosciences student Gabriel Viramontes shared what will happen during the Shakeout and what we all should do to prepare to Drop, Cover and Hold On.

A guide with information to prepare you for the next earthquake or tsunami is the Living on Shaky Ground site through HSU.
