GET READY TO SHAKE OUT, THEN MOVE OUT OF THE TSUNAMI ZONE; TILLAMOOK COUNTY WIDE EARTHQUAKE & TSUNAMI DRILL OCTOBER 17TH

Posted on October 9, 2024 by Editor
www.tillamookcountypioneer.net

You are invited to join thousands of people who will “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” on October 17th at 10:17 a.m. in the 2024 Great Oregon ShakeOut!
Tillamook County is taking it to the next level with a county wide tsunami evacuation drill. In the event of an earthquake, the shaking is the tsunami warning. If you are in the tsunami zone, then evacuate and walk to an assembly area.
If you are not in a tsunami area, then Drop, Cover, and Hold On. An earthquake can damage or destroy buildings. Plan ahead to be safe.
Be prepared, not scared. Have you heard the saying “Practice makes perfect.”  Well, that’s what this drill is all about.  The more you practice your evacuation plans, the better prepared you will be when the big one hits (or even for any type of emergency situation.)

Participating is a great way for your family or organization to become better prepared to survive and recover quickly from a big earthquake or tsunami. Why is “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” important to practice? You may only have seconds to protect yourself in an earthquake before strong shaking knocks you down, or something falls or hits you. Practicing helps you be ready to react.
Do you know your evacuation route for the tsunami? Do you know how long it will take you to WALK there? What if you aren’t at home – do you know the evacuation route in other areas? Do you have a Go-Bag ready? You need to walk because when a real earthquake strikes, roads may not be
drivable. If you are not sure of your route, you can go to the Tillamook County Emergency Mangement webpage at https://www.co.tillamook.or.us/emergency-management for links to maps for your area.

Mark your calendar now – Tillamook County’s ShakeOut and Move Out – Earthquake and Tsunami Drill, October 17th at 10:17am.
