🇺🇸 **THE TOWN OF NEWBURGH IS PARTICIPATING IN THE GREAT SHAKEOUT!** 🌎
🚨 **TODAY IS INTERNATIONAL SHAKEOUT DAY!** 🚨
Thursday, October 15, 2026, marks the annual **Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drill**, a worldwide effort encouraging individuals, families, schools, businesses, and local governments to practice earthquake safety and emergency preparedness.
The **Town of Newburgh, Indiana**, encourages everyone in our community to take a few moments today to learn how to protect themselves during an earthquake.
Although earthquakes may not happen frequently in our area, Southern Indiana can experience seismic activity. **Being prepared today can make all the difference when an emergency occurs!**
🚨 **IF YOU FEEL SHAKING, REMEMBER THREE SIMPLE STEPS:**
🔴 **DROP!** — Drop to your hands and knees to prevent being knocked down.
🔵 **COVER!** — Cover your head and neck and, if possible, take shelter beneath a sturdy table or desk.
🔴 **HOLD ON!** — Hold on to your shelter until the shaking stops.
🏠 **TAKE TIME TO PREPARE!**
Earthquake preparedness doesn't stop with a drill. We encourage residents and businesses to:
✅ Review family and workplace emergency plans.
✅ Secure furniture and other items that could fall during an earthquake.
✅ Prepare or update emergency supply kits.
✅ Discuss earthquake safety with children and family members.
✅ Practice **Drop, Cover, and Hold On!**
🌐 **JOIN MILLIONS AROUND THE WORLD!**
