Preparedness is the focal point of the 2013 Great Central US ShakeOut. The earthquake preparedness drill is scheduled for Thursday, and is planned in connection with Earthquake Awareness Month. Trigg County Emergency Director Randy Wade told the News Edge the unexpected nature of earthquakes is one of the big concerns.
The ShakeOut, is organized by the multi-state Central United States Earthquake Consortium. Wade says more than two million will participate, including a large number from Kentucky.
The ShakeOut is also a forum to promote "Drop, Cover and Hold On", which is the recommended personal protective action to take during an earthquake. Those who would officially like to participate are encouraged to go to www.shakeout.org/centralus and pledge that their family, school, business or organization will take part in the drill.
