What is everyone doing tomorrow at 10:15 a.m.?

Hopefully, you'll practice a response to an earthquake, because tomorrow is the day for the Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills

How do you practice? Drop, cover your head, and hold on! Schools, businesses, and families should all practice earthquake preparedness so that panic doesn’t override action.

This is important because Illinois sits between two fault zones: The New Madrid Fault Zone and the Wabash Valley Fault Zone.

Feel free to post photos here on our post AND on your posts!
