Living on the North Coast provides a unique set of challenges, With the Mendocino triple junction just off the coast, earthquakes are always a possibility. While we can't predict when an earthquake will happen, we can prepare. The Great ShakeOut is a worldwide earthquake drill that happens every year on the 3rd Thursday of October. This week we met with Cal Poly Humboldt Emeritus Professor of GeologyLori Dengler to learn about how one can protect themselves during the next seismic event.
The Great Shakeout, which will be taking place on Thursday, October 16th at 10:16 a.m. To find more info about the great shakeout, including registering your home, family, or organization, please visit shakeout.org.
