Taking it to the Streets!
• County-level Coordinators have direct access to ShakeOut and
TsunamiZone registration data via an online portal in order to:
– Encourage past registrants to renew their organization’s participation;
– Recruit organizations that have never officially participated;
– Establish new partnerships with people who are responsible for the
preparedness and planning of their business, school, government
agency, or organization; and
– Identify participants with exemplary ShakeOut plans, to highlight as local
best practices and perhaps to expand into multi-organizational
community drills.

Why Drop, Cover, and Hold On?
• Get down before being thrown to
the ground
• Provides protection from falling or
flying items… including structural
elements
• Exterior of buildings (brick, glass,
etc.) often fall, even when no
collapse
• More chance of surviving collapseClassroom in Calexico, CAApril 2010 M7.2
