The Great California Shake Out!
At 10:21 a.m. on October 21, 2010, millions of Californians will practice Drop, Cover, and Hold On. Many people and organizations will also practice other aspects of their emergency plans.
Last year, nearly 6.9 million Californians participated in the 2009 ShakeOut Drill statewide. The Great California ShakeOut will be held on the third Thursday of October each year.
Register now and join our goal of 10 million participants in 2010 practicing quake safety!

Quote from First Lady of California
“California women are trailblazers in everything they do. They’ve made history by doing things their way. They didn’t wait to be asked. They didn’t wait to be invited. And they didn’t wait to be told. They just did! I love people who just do.” ~ Maria Shriver
California is a special state and it is our people that make the difference. Male and female, we are innovators, designers, engineers, athletes, musicians, artists, writers, mothers and fathers, planners, cultivators, risk takers, change agents, and the list goes on. So, what are you doing to make California great?
