The Shakeout Earthquake Drill
Get ready for the California Shakeout drill on October 18. Go to http://www.shakeout.org/california/ for details. And when you're done shaking out, come back to the Open Hazards residential home damage estimator under the Tools tab to determine how much damage your home might sustain. Or go to the earthquake viewer to see what the chance of an earthquake near your home might be. Then visit our hazards viewer to see your flood risk, or read through our blogs and view our videos for more information on other hazards.
Good luck, and remember to Shake Out on October 18!
