The Great Southern California ShakeOut

At 10 a.m. on November 13, join millions of people throughout Southern California in the ShakeOut Drill, the largest earthquake preparedness activity in U.S. history!

Individuals, businesses, schools, colleges and universities will be spreading the word about earthquake preparedness throughout Southern California.

A week of special events featuring the largest earthquake drill in U.S. history, "The Great Southern California ShakeOut," has been organized to inspire Southern Californians to get prepared.

On Nov. 13, SDSU will activate its Campus Emergency Operations Center to participate in an exercise that will simulate the steps necessary to manage an incident such as an earthquake.

All members of the SDSU campus community are encouraged to periodically review earthquake preparedness information, including "Drop, Cover and Hold On" protocol, and help spread the word. Being prepared may prevent a disaster from becoming a catastrophe. Additional SDSU emergency preparedness information for students, faculty and staff may be found online.
