🚨 The Great California Shakeout is Thursday, October 15 at 10:15 AM!
Here in the East Bay, we live in earthquake country — so let's practice what to do when the ground shakes.

When you feel shaking or get an alert:
🔹 DROP to your hands and knees
🔹 COVER your head and neck
🔹 HOLD ON until the shaking stops

Peralta will also test our Rave emergency alert system with a text and email that morning.

Make sure your contact info is up to date so you don't miss it!
