"Earthquakes are one of nature's deadliest hazards. In seconds, they can turn homes into ruins, undo decades of progress & claim thousands of lives." - Guterres

Most earthquake deaths result from collapsing buildings ➡️ https://t.co/sq8vIEcRjm #EarthquakeDay #BuildingResilience

[Statewide California Earthquake Center @SCEC]

As the global home for Great @ShakeOut Earthquake Drill coordination, @SCEC encourages support and awareness of this important new annual day to Remember, Protect, and Build Disaster Resilience.

[ShakeOut @ShakeOut]

We are proud of the new partnership between @UNDRR and @ShakeOut to observe this new #EarthquakeDay and to encourage everyone, everywhere to learn and practice earthquake safety actions such as #DropCoverHoldOn during annual earthquake drills. Learn more: https://t.co/YzOOEhNDmI

📢 Smart public policies can prevent earthquake disasters.

Most earthquake deaths result from damage to buildings & infrastructure – we can protect people from this.

🕯️ Remember. Protect. Build disaster resilience.
