And, of-course be sure to use social media, graphics, and media relations materials at ShakeOut.org/messaging to help you promote ShakeOut too. | | | Drill Broadcasts and Safety Video Series | | One minute recordings are available in English and Spanish you to play on any device that can support YouTube videos. These provide step-by-step instructions and explain for why each action is important.
And, to make sure that your participants practice the correct safety procedures, have them view the Earthquake Safety Video Series. This also helps make sure the photos your share via social media with #ShakeOut are great examples from which others can learn! | | | Apps for Improving Resilience | |

Get the American Red Cross earthquake app! Receive notification when an earthquake occurs, find help and let others know you're safe even if the power is out.

Temblor, a free mobile (iOS and Android) and web app, estimates the cost of damage to your property based on the latest USGS seismic hazard model. It maps recent earthquakes, faults, as well as liquefaction, landslide, flood, and tsunami zones.

Be sure to share it with your friends, family, and co-workers! | | | | We're All in This Together | | Be sure to encourage discussion among your participants about what they learned, what worked well, and what additional safety actions are needed. The Seven Steps to Earthquake Safety is a great conversation starter for how to be prepared for what to do after shaking stops!
And remember, your registrations for ShakeOut and TsunamiZone automatically count in America's PrepareAthon!
