UCR will join the Great ShakeOut on Thursday

On 10:15 a.m. on Oct. 15, 2026, millions of people will “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” in The Great ShakeOut, the world's largest earthquake drill.

Major earthquakes may happen anywhere you live, work, or travel. The ShakeOut is our chance to practice how to protect ourselves, and for everyone to become prepared. 

Why is a “Drop, Cover, and Hold On”...
