On Thursday, Oct. 15, at 10:15 a.m. Oregonians are encouraged to participate in the world’s largest “drop, cover and hold on” earthquake drill, the “Great ShakeOut.” Due to the fact that Oregon is seismically active with both inland earthquakes and the Cascadia Subduction Zone off the Oregon Coast, the Oregon Office of Emergency Management is encouraging participation in the Great Oregon ShakeOut.
