ShakeOut Partners

We all must better prepare ourselves for major earthquakes, and practice how to protect ourselves when they happen. The purpose of the ShakeOut is to help people and organizations do both.

The ShakeOut is made possible by generous support of several sponsors, committed organizers from many organizations, the encouragement of many others, and people across the globe that share the ShakeOut locally.

SPONSORS

Federal Emergency Management Agency

United States Geological Survey

National Science Foundation

Each ShakeOut region may have additional or different sponsors.

ORGANIZERS

Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills are organized in each Official ShakeOut Region by a wide range of local and national partners (see menu above).
