Great Southern California Shakeout - Images by Fabian Lewkowicz Santa Monica Firefighters Joe Cavin (right) and Jim Schier demonstrate how to properly move an injured victim during the Great Southern California Shakeout, a statewide earthquake drill, at the Third Street Promenade on Thursday, October 21, 2010. The Santa Monica Fire department demonstrated post-earthquake response during the earthquake drill including shutting off water, electric and gas. They also signed people up for free Disaster Assistance Response Training classes. Over 9 million people throughout Southern California participated in the Shake Out Drill, the largest earthquake preparedness activity in U.S. history! Families, school children and business workers participated in the drill. In summary, The ShakeOut Scenario estimates this earthquake will cause some 2,000 deaths, 50,000 injuries, $200 billion in damage and other losses, and severe, long-lasting disruption. The report has regional implications and is a dramatic call to action for preparedness.
