Great California ShakeOut at College of the Desert
The Great California ShakeOut is happening today at 10:16 AM. People across the Coachella Valley will join millions worldwide in this annual earthquake drill.
Although the ShakeOut now takes place in over 50 countries, it all began in California. The purpose of the ShakeOut is to help individuals and communities prepare for a major earthquake through practice and education.
College of the Desert will be participating in today’s drill. A key partner in the effort is the Coachella Valley Disaster Preparedness Network, which is helping to coordinate the event on campus. They’re also educating students on how to stay safe during emergencies, and giving out free Go Bags filled with emergency supplies.
