Calling all educators! đź“Ł

As the control agency for earthquake, we’re getting ready for the Great ShakeOut – the world’s largest earthquake drill held on 15 October.

Sign up your school or classroom now to participate and help young people learn how to “drop, cover and hold on” in an earthquake. 🌏

Even though high magnitude earthquakes in Victoria are rare, they do happen – and you could experience one overseas while travelling. So, it’s important to learn the skills to protect yourself.

Find out more and register your drill on our website here: www.ses.vic.gov.au/great-shakeout-earthquake-drill
