	IESMA Joins with IEMA to Encourage Participation in Multi-State Earthquake Drill In April 2011, more than three million people across the region participated in the first-ever Great Central U.S. ShakeOut. More than 257,000 of these participants were Illinoisans. Based on that success, this public earthquake preparedness drill is now planned as an annual event, and the next one will take place on February 7, 2012, at 10:15 a.m. This “Drop, Cover and Hold On” drill will be conducted simultaneously with eight other states in the Central U.S. to draw attention to the earthquake hazard in this region. IESMA has joined with the Illinois Emergency Management Agency to encourage schools, businesses, families, government agencies, medical facilities, colleges, universities and other organizations to participate in the ShakeOut drill. To be counted as a participant, everyone needs to register on the ShakeOut website: http://www.shakeout.org/centralus/. Once registered, participants receive ShakeOut news and other information about earthquakes and preparedness. For more information click on the link below. More >> Sunday, October 16, 2011
