October 19th is your opportunity to practice Drop, Cover, and Hold On with the rest of Montana!
Montana is a very seismically active state with 7-10 earthquakes occurring every day. Â We haven’t seen a local earthquake cause significant damage in recent history, but let us not forget that the 1959 Hebgen Lake Earthquake is still the 14th largest earthquake ever in the United States! Â The Great Montana Shakeout on October 19th is the perfect opportunity for you to practice the simple task of Drop, Cover and Hold On – no matter where you are. Â Join your fellow Montanan’s at register to participate in the Great Montana Shakeout at 10:19 am on October 19th.
This can be as simple as performing Drop, Cover and Hold On and 30 seconds later going back to work, or a great opportunity to review your Family Emergency Plan for the year!  Material is available for a variety of settings such as schools, businesses, healthcare, government, and other organizations to easily participate.  Get more information at shakeout.org/montana and earthquake preparedness at ReadyGallatin.com.
