It’s that time of year again, the Great British Columbia ShakeOut earthquake preparedness drill is happening on Thursday, October 16th, at 10:16 a.m.
The steps are simple: at 10:16 a.m., find a place to “Drop, Cover and Hold On.” For a bit of a longer version, at 10:16 a.m., you’d:
- Find a safe place, such as under a sturdy table
- Count to 60 seconds, as this is how long an earthquake could last
- After 60 seconds, scan the area because in a real earthquake, you’d want to check for displaced objects and other dangers before standing up
For more information about this earthquake preparedness drill, please visit the ShakeOutBC website. Langley City municipal workers will be participating in this drill.
