How to Host a High Magnitude ShakeOut Event in Your Community - Public education and drills are important to increasing procedural knowledge (e.g. muscle memory). FCLEs allow for cross generational learning, as these organizations educate people outside of traditional educational institutions. This critical learning can help caregivers and parents support children take the correct protective actions. This seminar covered the ShakeOut Toolkit, full of off-the-shelf resources, experiences from colleagues at other institutions who participate in ShakeOut, tips for networking with other FCLEs to promote earthquake readiness by being a part of the EPIcenter Network, and much more!
