📣 THURSDAY APRIL 18th @ 10:15AM
We are almost one week away from the GREATest earthquake drill in Utah! Don't miss out on the 12th annual Great Utah ShakeOut! Join what could be a million Utahns in the ‘Drop, Cover, and Hold On’ drill and practice how to survive an earthquake
#Prepare for earthquakes: Take time to review what to do in an earthquake: DROP, COVER, and HOLD ON. If you are in bed, STAY IN BED and COVER YOUR HEAD. The Great Utah #ShakeOut is April 18, 2024. Register with @UtahShakeOut here: http://ow.ly/wdNE30iHBb2.
What's in your Go Bag/Emergency Kit? Do you have...
At least one gallon of water per day per person?
While it may seem like a lot, water can be used for both drinking and sanitation purposes.
