The 2010 Great California ShakeOut on October 21 is now less than three
months away, and already more than 4.5 million Californians are registered
to participate. In 2009 this milestone was not reached until mid-September!
If you have renewed your registration already, thank you! If you or your
organization has not yet renewed your registration for 2010, please login at
http://www.shakeout.org/login today to easily update your information and
confirm your participation in this year's drill. Now is the time to be
planning how you will participate.
Help us contact you...
Have you been registered for awhile but this is this the first ShakeOut
Update you have received? (Today's email is sent from a different address.
Past emails are at http://www.shakeout.org/updates.) If you haven't been
receiving these, the reason is likely your "spam" email filter. The
solution varies with each email provider. You may need to add
info@shakeout.org to your email address list or to your spam filter
"whitelist" (especially schools or larger organizations- ask your IT staff
for the procedure).
Prepare, Protect, and Recover!
The ShakeOut is an opportunity for us to prepare together, before a major
earthquake happens again in California. To help we are sending you
preparedness tips each month, following the Seven Steps to Earthquake
Safety (http://www.earthquakecountry.org/roots/seven_steps.html):
Step 6: Check it Out! (http://www.earthquakecountry.info/roots/step6.html)
One of the first things you should do following a major disaster (if you
are not injured) is to check for injuries and damages that need immediate
attention. Make sure you are trained in first aid and
know how to identify hazards such as damaged gas, water, and electrical
lines. The webpage for this step has basic instructions for assessing
injuries and damages and how to handle each appropriately.
NOTE: Firefighters, preparedness officials, and other experts agree that
"Drop, Cover, and Hold On" is the best way to protect yourself during
earthquakes. Other methods can be very dangerous. Read our special report
at http://www.earthquakecountry.org/dropcoverholdon to learn why.
Who will ShakeOut with you?
A great way to help your friends, relatives, community, employer, and others
get prepared is to encourage them to register to participate in the
ShakeOut! Let them know you are participating and ask them to join you.
You can also display posters, distribute flyers, and use other materials
available on the ShakeOut Resources page (http://www.shakeout.org/resources).
We're all in this together...
The ShakeOut has grown because of people like you, who see the value of
practicing how to protect ourselves and for getting prepared. We have formed
the Earthquake Country Alliance to foster an earthquake and tsunami
resilient California. Our signature activity is the ShakeOut. If you have
similar commitments please join the Alliance at
http://www.earthquakecountry.org/alliance/join.html
Thank you for your participation and commitment to earthquake safety!
