Shake Out Earthquake Drill

Thursday 27 October 2022 9:30 AM to 9:40 AM

Today is SHAKE OUT DAY!!! - 27 October at 9.30am
Shake Out takes place across the world to remind people of the right action to take during an earthquake. Drop, Cover and Hold.
Look for safe places to wait it out in your home, at work or when you’re out and about.
You can also practice a tsunami hīkoi (evacuation walk) if you're in a coastal area.
Remember - if it's long and strong, get gone!
