The Great California ShakeOut (Earthquake) Drill!
October 20, 2011 at 10:20 A.M.
On Thursday, October 20, 2011, millions of Californians will
“DROP, COVER AND HOLD ON”, as a simulated Magnitude
7.8 earthquake strikes the region along 180-miles of the San
Andreas Fault.
Please join the Los Angeles Community Colleges in
supporting the largest earthquake drill in U.S. history!
The Great California “ShakeOut” is based on a potential magnitude 7.8
earthquake on the southern San Andreas Fault— approximately 5,000
times larger than the magnitude 5.4 earthquake that shook southern
California on July 29, 2008. It’s not a matter of if an earthquake of this
size will happen—but when. And it is possible that it will happen in our
lifetime. For more information on how you can participate, please visit
