ShakeOut 2025 is happening 9.30am, Thursday 16 October!
ShakeOut takes place across the world to remind people of the right action to take during an earthquake. You can start the drill in whatever way works for you.
All you need to do is Drop, Cover and Hold for 60 seconds and practice your evacuation if you are in a tsunami evacuation zone.
Drop down on your hand and knees.
Cover your head and neck.
Hold on to your shelter.
Drop, Cover and Hold is the right action to take in an earthquake.
It stops you being knocked over, makes you a smaller target for falling and flying objects, and protects your head, neck and vital organs.
Do not run outside during earthquake shaking or you risk getting hit by falling bricks and glass.
Practicing Drop, Cover and Hold mean you can quickly take the right action in an earthquake.
If you would like to know more, register that you're taking part or get some resources to share, get along to https://getready.govt.nz/involved/shakeout
