The 2024 statewide Utah ShakeOut is on April 18, 2024, when Utahns will participate in earthquake drills at work, school, or home, practicing earthquake safety and other aspects of their emergency plans.

While we encourage you to participate with everyone, you can register your ShakeOut drill for any day of the year, and drill at a time of your choice. You can also include people in multiple locations through video conferencing.

After you register your ShakeOut participation, go to beready.utah.gov to learn how to prepare for earthquakes and other disasters.
