Did you Shake Out?

Every October, schools, workplaces, marae and whanau take part in the national, ShakeOut earthquake drill and tsunami hikoi. Did you take part this year?

We should all know the sayings, 'Drop, Cover, Hold' and 'Long or Strong, Get Gone', but practising these actions are important and help our muscle memory kick in when an event occurs, even in a very stressful situation.

By knowing what to do when unexpected events happen and how we can best keep ourselves and our whanau safe, we can reduce the risk of injury.

Learn how to Drop, Cover and Hold in different situations by visiting the National Emergency Management Agencies Get Ready website.
