Are you prepared for the big one?
This Thursday, residents across the province, including here in Delta, will get the chance to take part in the Great British Columbia ShakeOut.
The ShakeOut is an annual opportunity to practice how to be safer during big earthquakes: "Drop, cover and hold on."
The ShakeOut has also been organized to encourage residents, communities, schools and organizations to review and update emergency preparedness plans and supplies.
The Corporation of Delta will be participating in the Shakeout at 10:20 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 20 and is encouraging all Delta residents to also take part.
There are more than 660,000 people across B.C. already registered. Delta invites residents and community organizations to get involved and to register at: http://www.shakeoutbc.ca/register/.
