DROP, COVER & HOLD ON! 🪇
Today is The Great ShakeOut, a great reminder to practise what to do if an earthquake.
Take a moment today to practise these three simple steps:
⬇️ DROP to your hands and knees.
🛡️ COVER your head and neck and get under a sturdy table or desk if possible.
✊ HOLD ON until the shaking stops.
Earthquakes do happen in Australia, so knowing what to do could help protect you, your friends and family.
✅ Take a few minutes today to practise with your household, and check that your emergency plan is up to date.
A little preparation today can make a big difference tomorrow! 💪
