On October 20, the California Great Shakeout will take place. This is a good time for you and your family to think about how prepared you are for an earthquake, as well as other types of emergency incidents. To determine how prepared you are, please take a brief quiz.
This is also a perfect time for you to review your Department evacuation plans. Remember that during an earthquake, you need to duck, cover and hold. A request to evacuate may then occur. Never run and always know where the exits are located.
