To capitalize on public awareness around disaster preparedness, fostered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s public service campaigns for National Preparedness Month in September, the annual Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drill ( www.shakeout.org ) is scheduled for October 21, 2021. At exactly 10:21 a.m. on October 21, millions of people will “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” in the world's largest earthquake drill.
