National Shake Out Earthquake & Tsunami drill...

 

I've been so busy lately that was just reminded that tomorrow is our National Earthquake and Tsunami drill.

This year, I've registered and will take part with my family to also consider what our Emergency plan would be too i.e. better to be prepared than not.

Tomorrow the drill will be enacted by mostly schools and organisations nationwide but individuals, families, and other groups can also register and join in. The idea is that at 9.30am everyone drops, covers and holds and then considers what other preparations need to be made and kept in mind.

It's called the nation 'Shake out' and all are encouraged to have an emergency plan and to check out what potential natural threats you might have close by eg. Tsunami for those close to open waters, Earthquakes (NZ on Pacific Fire Rim) etc...
