The Great Shake Out is a global earthquake preparedness initiative that encourages people to practise the simple, lifesaving actions: DROP – COVER – HOLD ON.

As the control agency for earthquakes in Victoria, VICSES plays a key role in supporting communities, before, during and after earthquake events. By participating in the Great Shake Out, VICSES is helping communities build awareness, preparedness, and resilience by encouraging people to participate in the drill to practise what to do when an earthquake occurs.

Earthquakes can and do happen in South Gippsland – as we were reminded only recently (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10-09/gippsland-earthquakes-normal-aftershocks/106745856). While those quakes were relatively small, larger earthquakes elsewhere clearly demonstrate the importance of being prepared and knowing how to respond when the ground starts shaking. Taking part in the Great Shake Out is a simple and effective way to improve preparedness, increase awareness and strengthen community resilience.
