Share your ShakeOut photos and stories
Calling all ShakeOut participants! Be sure to take pictures during your drill. You'll be able to return and upload them below, along with stories about your drill, and also view those shared by others!
Disclaimer: These photos and stories are provided by the public. While they have been reviewed to eliminate non-ShakeOut-related content, the depictions of preparedness activities in these photos and stories should not be assumed to represent best practices, and should be seen only as documentation of events associated with the Great California ShakeOut earthquake drill.
For the 2008 ShakeOut, over 98% of the senior residents of the Vallecito Mobile Home Park took cover for 3 minutes and then placed OK signs in their windows for volunteer responders to check. Several residents pretended to be injured, and the responders followed procedures in place for such emergencies. The residents participate in a similar drill every six months!
