The BHUSD is proud to be joining 7.9M Californians in earthquake preparedness training as part of the Great California ShakeOut on October 20th, at 10:20 AM
We’re all in this together…
On the third Thursday of October each year, you can join the millions of Californians who will “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” in The Great California ShakeOut, the largest earthquake drill ever!
As described below, major earthquakes may happen where you work, live, or travel in
California. The ShakeOut is our chance to practice how to protect ourselves, and for everyone to become prepared. The goal is to prevent disasters from becoming catastrophes.
Why is a “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” drill important? As with anything, to act quickly you must practice often. You may only have seconds to protect yourself in an earthquake before strong shaking knocks you down, or something falls on you.
Other preparedness information is on the back of this flyer and is online at
Everyone can participate! Individuals, families, businesses, schools, government agencies, community groups, and other organizations are all invited to register.
