Join CBC B.C. at the Great British Columbia Shake Out

CBC British Columbia is once again participating in the Great British Columbia Shake Out, joining millions of people worldwide to practice how to "Drop, Cover, and Hold On" in the event of an earthquake.

At 10:19 a.m. on Oct. 19, join us by tuning in to CBC Radio One to hear an earthquake drill and practise how to be safe if the earth shakes no matter where you are.

What do I do when I hear the drill?

Drop, Cover, and Hold On!
