DROP, COVER AND HOLD ON FOR THE GREAT SHAKEOUT EARTHQUAKE PREPAREDNESS DRILL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 10:19 AM
When an earthquake hits, what will you do? Join the City of Malibu and millions of people around the world to “Drop, Cover and Hold On” for the Great ShakeOut, the world’s largest simultaneous earthquake preparedness drill, on Thursday, October 19, at 10:19 AM.
The public is encouraged to join the exercise in person at City Hall, or conduct the drill independently, at their home, business, school, house of worship or community-based organization. If you happen to be in City Hall at that time, please join the City staff for the drill and “Drop Cover and Hold On” which is the safest immediate response to an earthquake.
A major earthquake can strike at any time and would have severe impacts to Malibu’s community, homes, infrastructure, daily lives and economy. Everyone in Malibu should be prepared for an earthquake and its aftermath, and have emergency plans and supplies to last for several days, including food, water, first aid, and medications - don't forget your pets!
