EARTHQUAKE DRILL - A once-a-year worldwide drill to practice what to do if an earthquake hits is happening tomorrow.
We often think of an earthquake as something that happens in one part of the country, but they're felt across the west, midwest and even the east. On Thursday at 10:20 in the morning, a worldwide training event will help everyday people act fast if an earthquake hits.
"I think the last couple of decades, in particular, have been a real wakeup call for the U.S., where we've seen big earthquakes hit in low to no population," McGowan said."Areas like Utah got hit by a moderate earthquake just outside Salt Lake City. We've had Idaho get hit, California, Puerto Rico, and a lot of these earthquakes have hit off the coast or out in the country. And so some people have been impacted, but we've really dodged the big one so far.
That's why McGowan is urging everyone to participate in The Great ShakeOut. It's a once-a-year worldwide drill to practice what to do if an earthquake hits.
