The Great NorthEast ShakeOut!
At 10:16 am this morning, thousands of folks all over the Northeast participated in the Great NorthEast ShakeOut. Didn’t practice the drill today? No problem! Plan a time to do so with your family and business so you’ll know how to protect yourself in the event an earthquake strikes. Drop!, Cover! and Hold On! are the only things you need do. Making sure you have a plan, go kits for each member of your family and pets and enough supplies to shelter in place for up to 72 hours after a disaster is key. #greatnortheastshakeout #shakeout
