It’s Shake Out time again!

It’s Shake Out time again! Time to make sure that you know how to stay safe when the earth decides to shake it like a salt shaker!

Be ready to Drop, Cover and Hold On with all of British Columbia: October 18, 10:18 a.m.

During earthquake we need to remember the followings:

1. Drop, Cover and Hold on- Drop to the ground, take cover under a sturdy piece of furniture, hold on until the shaking stops
2. If you can’t get under something, protect your head and neck using your arms
3. If you are near the ocean during the earthquake, drop cover and hold on, when the shaking stops , quickly walk to high ground.
4. When shaking stops, count to 60 to allow objects near you to stop moving
5. Consider the following questions:
– Are you prepared
– Do you have an emergency kit stocked with enough food, water and supplies for everyone in your home
– Have you secured your belongings so that they don’t fall during stronger earthquakes
