Millions of Californians will participate in the annual Great California ShakeOut earthquake drill, where they will "Drop, Cover, and Hold On" to practice earthquake preparedness.
The event, scheduled for 10:16 a.m., involves businesses, government offices, and schools across the state. In Oakland, a simulation of intense earthquake shaking will be offered at Frank Ogawa Plaza.
This initiative promotes safety measures during seismic events, led by local and state emergency responders.
