Today is International ShakeOut Day, when millions of people worldwide participate in earthquake drills at work, school, or home! Western Washington, including Redmond, is highly vulnerable to earthquakes. While their timing or strength cannot be accurately predicted, they are a certainty of living in this beautiful part of the country. You can join the millions of people across Washington by practicing drop, dover, and hold on for one minute at 10:15 a.m. today, Oct. 15. This is a great way to build muscle memory for when you feel the ground shaking during the next earthquake.
