Here's an article from the #SFGate regarding #EarthquakeMyths. I agree with all of them except for #DropCoverHoldOn . . . which is oversimplified.
If you know anything about guns, there is the concept of #concealment vs #cover. Concealment means you can't be seen by a possible attacker. Cover means that you are protected behind something that will stop a bullet.
In an earthquake, taking "cover" under a table or another "solid object" may or may not protect you from the roof falling down upon you.
If it's the best thing you can do, so be it but, in order to be fully protected, you need to get under something that withstand a complete collapse of the building you're in &, no matter what happens, DO NOT run outside where there is no protection whatsoever, especially if you are in a dense skyscraper dominated environment like downtown #SF . . .

I do like modern notification systems.
If you are in the Humbolt County area,
Drop, Cover, Hold on

There's a lot of great content for the #GreatWAShakeOut, #DropCoverHoldOn etc. focused on the able-bodied that does not apply to folks with disabilities. Luckily, there *are* a lot of #disability-oriented resources available for earthquake safety!

In EDT it's almost time for #Shakeout2023. At 10:19 you should crawl under your desk for a minute.
It's a practice for #earthquake preparedness. If there are problems doing it now, you can address them and be ready to #dropCoverHoldOn in case a real quake happens.

The #Shakeout promotion on Masto isn't what it was on the birdsite yet, but hopefully that will grow.
I used to prod city hall's health people that they should be more participatory in this drill. They eventually did start tweeting about it finally, but of course that was all for naught.
Silly that Ottawa doesn't have a substantial presence among the Shakeout.Org region listings. We're going to have a big quake again some day, and will be under-prepared for it.

Time for my annual enthusiasm to encourage you to crawl under your desk or table.
The #ShakeOut this year is October 19 at 10:19am local time. Watch the clock, imagine an earthquake happening, and immediately drop, cover and hold-on.
#Ottawa area is a prime earthquake risk area, so we should know what to do. Only takes a minute of your time. Plus it's fun to see what's under your desk.

Tomorrow is the #shakeOut day around the world. At 10:20am local time, you should stop what you're doing and get under a table or desk for a minute.
If you're in an #earthquake risk zone, like we are here in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec, just practicing that #DropCoverHoldOn routine might save your life someday.
See shakeout.org for more info.
