As you may have heard, southern California will be holding the largest earthquake drill in our nation’s history, respectively called THE GREAT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SHAKE OUT. DTNtech will be participating in this drill as part of a business safety preparedness procedure tomorrow, Thursday, November 13 @ 10:00AM.

***

It is common knowledge that southern California is expecting a major earthquake sometime in the future - an earthquake so large, rumors that it is strong enough to split California into its own island is just as common. With a quake so long overdue, as determined by experts, DTNtech will be STOPPING, COVERING, and HOLDING along with the 5.2+ million other participants tomorrow. Check out the the website at www.shakeout.org and register yourself/business/organization if you haven’t already!

The organizers have gone to an extent to even have audio recordings that could be played on computers and PA Systems, blasting drills and earthquake-simulated sounds (with things dropping, ground rumbling, car alarms going off, the whole nine yards!). At 10am, multiple TV and radio stations will also be blaring these drill sounds for a whole minute and a half. I have to say, the minute and a half may seem short, but when you listen and actually imagine yourself holding onto a table for that long… the minute seems like forever!

We prepare emergency plans, and we hope you do as well to protect your family and friends, as we are in this unpredictable, and perhaps inevitable, earthquake. Stay safe! And remember to Stop, Cover, and Hold Tight!! Watch the video for more interesting info. :)
