We have experienced several small earthquakes in our area-- the last occurring August 13, 2015 @ 7:45:47PM CDT which was measured as a 2.5 magnitude.

We are unable to predict WHEN or IF a larger quake may occur-- However, we can become better prepared for a "BIG ONE" by practicing how to protect ourselves WHEN & IF it happens!

You can do this by going to www.shakeout.org and register to participate in an earthquake drill on October 15, 2015 @ 10:15AM (If this date and time is not good you will be given athe option to select a date and time). We encourage you to register your family, church groups, business, etc.

Please pass this information along to everyone you know that may not have a social media account
