Why is “Drop” one of the first things we do when the ground starts shaking? Earthquake shaking can knock you over, so being low will help you get less hurt. Learn to get the Drop on earthquakes, and protect your melon, by practicing during the Great ShakeOut! Learn more and register at: shakeout.org/washington
