The Great Utah ShakeOut is designed to help everyone learn and practice “Drop, Cover, and Hold On.”

  1. At your designated time, everyone should “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” by getting under a desk, table, or chair and holding onto the legs.
  2. If you don’t have sturdy furniture nearby, kneel down against a wall without glass overhead and cover your head and neck with your arms and hands.
  3. The earthquake drill involves an imaginary earthquake and shaking and only lasts for about 1 minute.
  4. After the drill, you can make a test call to your out-of-area emergency contact.
  5. We want to see YOU participate! Take a selfie of you practicing drop, cover, and hold on and send it to Melissa Brown at [email protected]
  6. Help spread the word about ShakeOut by telling your family, neighbors, and friends to participate.

We will post pictures of our team participating on the GOTogether webpage: https://employee.govops.utah.gov/
