The 2025 Great ShakeOut
Event Information
On Tuesday, September 23, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., the Washington Emergency Management Division (WA EMD) and the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) will host the Great ShakeOut webinar for Long-Term Care Facilities.
The Great ShakeOut is part of a worldwide earthquake and tsunami preparedness drill that helps communities, businesses, and organizations think through their response to a major disaster. This webinar is a chance to ask:
Would our staff and residents know how to stay safe?
Do our communication and continuity plans account for earthquake damage?
What would we do next?
We can’t predict when the next earthquake will hit Washington—but we can prepare. Don’t miss this opportunity to strengthen your readiness and protect your community.
