On October 15, 2009 at 10:15 A.M., Pali Institute participated in The Great California Shakeout. This massively coordinated earthquake drill throughout the state of California had just shy of 7 million participants. This was the largest earthquake drill in U.S. history. For many of the Pali instructors, this earthquake drill was a first. With many of our instructors coming from the Midwest and East Coast, earthquakes and earthquake drills are out of the ordinary.
We had our students participate in indoor and outdoor earthquake drills based on where their class location was at 10:15 A.M. By practicing the “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” technique, we hope that everyone is prepared for the next earthquake.
