INDIANA – The Hoosiers are located near two seismic zones, with the potential for major earthquakes, and need to get a ShakIN when it comes to earthquake preparedness. The Get ShakIN contest will provide top schools with their very own Raspberry Shake® RS3D seismograph and an opportunity to join IDHS in promoting earthquake safety.

Contest ends August 21, 2023. Indiana will celebrate with the winning school on “Indiana Earthquake Awareness Day” in October, around the time the shaking was greatest in the central United States.

Student groups or classes may enter by submitting a student-produced video focused on earthquake preparedness and/or safety. A panel of judges from IDHS will select the top 10 videos to win a seismograph, and an overall winner will be selected to receive a seismograph plus the grand prize: an “Indiana Earth Awareness Day” event and a visit to the Quake Cottage simulator (if available).

Additional information about the video contest and earthquake safety is on the Get ShakIN webpage (on.in.gov/get-shakin).

IDHS routinely shares earthquake and other disaster preparedness information with Indiana schools via the Get Prepared website. Educators can request a teacher’s earthquake preparedness kit by sending their information to [email protected].
