Are You Ready for the Great California ShakeOut 2025?
Every third Thursday in October, the Great California ShakeOut helps millions of Californians rehearse their earthquake response. On October 16, 2025, at 10:16 a.m., participants will take one minute to “Drop, Cover, and Hold On.”
Over the years, the ShakeOut has grown dramatically. More than 10.2 million Californians joined in 2024, and over 10 million are already registered for 2025. Register at ShakeOut.org and join this essential preparedness initiative.
Why Earthquake Preparedness Matters
Earthquakes can strike without warning—especially in states like California. The Great ShakeOut provides a valuable opportunity to review emergency procedures, test your protocols, and ensure everyone knows what to do. But preparedness is more than just drills.
For property owners and managers, true readiness starts from understanding your building’s structural risks and taking proactive steps—such as seismic upgrades—to mitigate damage. Buildings constructed before 1997 are particularly vulnerable and benefit the most from retrofits.
