Have you ever experienced an 8.0 magnitude earthquake? If not, what if you had the opportunity to do so; would you take it? Might it increase your personal level of preparedness for you, your family, and your pets? Find out the answers to these questions and more at UCI’s annual Festival of Discovery taking place this Saturday, October 3rd from 9am – 3pm in Aldrich Park. The UCIPD Emergency Services Unit would like to invite you out to our shared booth with Public Health staged at the Local + Global Impact Pavilion (see bottom of map) where we will be promoting earthquake safety and disaster preparedness. Our interactive display includes the Quake Cottage, an 8.0 magnitude earthquake simulator, and tips on how to prepare and keep safe during an earthquake. The Festival is open to the public and includes free admission and parking. Invite your friends, family, neighbors… This should be a fantastic event and an opportunity to better understand why we say “Drop, Cover & Hold On.”
