Great California ShakeOut Tour to Stop in LA Prior To Statewide Earthquake Preparedness Day

MATHER — The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services or Cal OES is hosting a statewide tour with an earthquake simulation trailer, known as the Great California ShakeOut Tour.

Leading up to the Great ShakeOut Day Oct. 20, where millions of Californians will participate in an earthquake drill, Cal OES and other local and state partners are leading the effort to provide life-saving earthquake preparedness tips to six California cities, all while feature a simulator that offers a real-life sense of an earthquake. 

The earthquake simulator provides users the opportunity to experience simulated shaking intensity, similar to that caused by magnitude 7.0 earthquakes. 

The tour, which will allow visitors to ride in the earthquake simulator as well as receive important earthquake preparedness information, will make stops in six California cities.

Los Angeles stop: 

Time: 8 a.m.to 12 p.m., Oct. 19
