The devastation brought on by earthquakes throughout the world in the past few years has captured the attention of all central U.S. residents, where earthquakes CAN happen. Geologists tell us that a damaging earthquake may strike the central United States at anytime.

You can prepare your school, business, family or any place where people gather, by participating in the Great Central U.S. ShakeOut - the largest earthquake drill in central U.S. history - on Thursday February 7, 2013 at 10:15 am CST.
