Detailed Description

Did you feel that? 

The annual Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drill is coming on Thursday, Oct. 17, 2024, at 10:17 a.m. (local time, wherever you are). We never know where or when an earthquake may happen, but preparing is easier than assembling a piece of Scandinavian furniture. 

Don’t believe us? Take a look at this step-by-step guide. 

You can follow these basic steps to take part in the drill and learn more about how to prepare for earthquakes. There are even some additional things you can do to make your drill perfect – such as creating an emergency kit – that is covered below. 

Set a reminder for 10:17 a.m. on Oct. 17 and join FEMA, USGS, and millions of others for the world’s largest preparedness drill.
