The ShakeOut Shop has been created as a service to ShakeOut participants who are requesting t-shirts, buttons, stickers, and other products to commemorate their drills, spread preparedness messages, and encourage others to participate. Soon you will also be able to order posters and flyers with your logo or information printed on them. You can purchase emergency preparedness items and you will also receive free items and informational materials.

Proceeds from each sale go to support increasing participation in the ShakeOut and preparedness for earthquakes!

In addition, Non-Profit organizations, Schools, Neighborhood Councils, and Agencies are encouraged to partner with ShakeOut as a fundraiser for your own organization! By becoming a ShakeOutShop Affiliate, your organization will receive ten percent (10%) of the total order (not including sales tax and shipping costs) of all merchandise available through the ShakeOutShop (including ShakeOut merchandise and all preparedness supplies through MorePrepared.com).

SAFELY OUT Kits

Citizen Voice’s SAFELY OUT™ Project was developed to ensure that the disabled, frail seniors, young children and more -- are protected during disaster evacuation. This neighbor-helping-neighbor approach is an asset to caregivers of the vulnerable as well as emergency responders, and is supported by the California Emergency Management Agency among many others. Along with this concept that we all need to be "first responders" after a disaster, the SAFELY OUT™ Kit provides a unique alert and critical information system. The project is a ShakeOut partner and includes ShakeOut resources in the kits. Learn more at www.CitizenVoice.org.

Order SAFELY OUT™ Kits (select second option) for your use or to provide to others.
