Get a ShakIN during Earthquake Awareness Month

[ad_1]

February is Earthquake Awareness Month

Earthquakes in Indiana may seem unusual or unlikely, but the truth is that the state is close to two seismic zones. Both seismic zones have the potential to cause large earthquakes and many small earthquakes. About 2,000 earthquakes occur daily in the central United States, underscoring the need for all Hoosiers to know about earthquake safety.

Hoosiers need to get a ShakIN to be aware of the dangers and to prepare for a major earthquake. If an earthquake occurs, Hoosiers must stop what they are doing and:

Drop them onto their hands and knees, cover their head and neck with one arm and one hand and crawl for cover under a nearby table or desk (a sturdy piece of furniture), holding on to the shelter with their free hand until the earthquake stops.
