On October 18th, the University of Washington will join with several other organizations and communities in participation of The Great ShakeOut. This annual, nation-wide event highlights the dangers of earthquakes, and ways that we can take action–before an earthquake happens–to reduce the impact it will have. The time & date is easy to remember: 10:18am on 10/18! Read more about this event, and how you can get involved, at the Pacific Northwest Seismic Center’s blog.
