SANTA MONICA—The city of Santa Monica announced on its Facebook page to remind the public of the upcoming California ShakeOut Earthquake Drill. The event will take place on October 16 at 10:16 a.m.

Individuals can practice earthquake safety actions at home, work, school, or even in your car.

Start with the simple tips within each step and build on those accomplishments. In Step one, you can move heavy, unsecured objects from top shelves onto lower ones. This will only take minutes to complete. A simple action in Step four is to call your agent to learn about earthquake insurance options. To practice how to be safe during earthquakes (Step five) you can register to participate in Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills.

For California, the Seven Steps are also featured within the Staying Safe Where the Earth Shakes booklets, available in English, Spanish, and Chinese (statewide) and 10 regional versions (https://www.earthquakecountry.org/stayingsafe/).
