[Alaska Earthquake Center @AKearthquake]

What’s Shaking Alaska?! Welcome to your seismic update from across the state, brought to you by the Alaska Earthquake Center, where we monitor ground shaking 24-7.

Alaska's annual earthquake emergency drill, the Great Alaska ShakeOut, is this week, on October 15 at 10:15am. Across the state, people and organizations will test their readiness for a large, damaging earthquake. The ShakeOut is the perfect chance to discuss and practice earthquake preparedness in your home, classroom, or business.

The Shakeout happens on the third Thursday of October. The drill originated in California to commemorate the October 17, 1989 magnitude 6.9 Loma Prieta earthquake, which caused 63 deaths, more than 3,700 injuries, and $10 billion in damage. Today, the Shakeout has expanded to earthquake-prone areas across 24 U.S. states and territories, and internationally.

Before an earthquake, you can prepare by securing your space. This could mean making sure there aren’t heavy picture frames over your bed or couch, anchoring large furniture and appliances to the wall, or creating a safety plan. Visit https://t.co/lBztBw9sSl for tips on what to pack in your emergency kit.

During an earthquake, don’t try to leave your building. Walking is especially hazardous during strong shaking. Instead, practice Drop, Cover, Hold—drop to the floor, take cover under a desk or table (if possible) to protect yourself from falling objects, and hold on until shaking stops.
