While COVID-19 has brought many uncertainties and challenges, one thing's for sure: ShakeOut is happening this year!

While International ShakeOut Day is always the third Thursday of October (this year: October 21), as always you can hold your #ShakeOut drill when and where you want. You can choose another date or several dates, and include people in multiple locations (home, work, or school), perhaps through video conferencing.
