| The Annual Earthquake Drill: The goal is to
encourage, support and empower local governments, state agencies, schools,
volunteer organizations, businesses and other privately sponsored groups
who desire to increase their level of preparedness or engage in
preparedness programs. The ultimate goal is individual self-sufficiency
for at least three days following a disaster. It is held in April of each
year.
Thurston County ARES/RACES conducts several types of net check-ins during the event from various locations using both voice and data modes on emergency power. See the Events Calendar for more.{back} |
