The 2023 statewide Utah ShakeOut was on April 20, 2023, when Utahns participated 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.
