IEEE MOVE Radio Club (IMRC) - The Great ShakeOut -- a worldwide Winlink Event

#MOVE #IMRC #amateur-radio #winlink #redcross

The Great ShakeOut -- a worldwide Winlink Event by Andy Moorwood K3CAQ. The California Shakeout has grown into a worldwide event. Learn how you can participate using Winlink and use this upcoming activity to develop your emergency preparedness.

The Great ShakeOut is the world's largest earthquake drill. It is held annually on the third Thursday of October, and millions of people participate from all over the world. In 2022, over 200 million people participated worldwide. The goal of the ShakeOut is to teach people how to protect themselves during an earthquake.

The ShakeOut drill is simple. At the designated time, participants Drop, Cover, and Hold On (DCHO). This means getting under a sturdy desk or table and holding on until the shaking stops. Amateur operators are encouraged to mark their participation by sending a Winlink message.
