The New Zealand Civil Defence Emergency Management are pleased with the number of kiwis who have signed up for the National ShakeOut so far.
At 9.26am on Wednesday 26 September [9:26-26:9] we aim to have one million participants in the New Zealand ShakeOut earthquake drill, the first ShakeOut drill held nationwide in any country.
The 9:26-26:9 earthquake drill is the focal point of New Zealand ShakeOut because it is a clear, simple action that people can take to help prepare themselves for an earthquake. It is also a first step, and it encourages people to look at their preparedness in more detail.
Getting involved in Shakeout is as easy as 1, 2, 3.
1. Sign up now – go to www.getthru.govt.nz (http://www.shakeout.govt.nz/register/index.php) (it takes only two minutes).
2. Spread the word (share with friends, family and workmates via word of mouth, Facebook, Twitter, email and other methods).
3. Do the drill Drop, Cover and Hold drill on 9:26-26:9.
