LAKE ELSINORE TO SHAKE IT OUT

Community Organization Helps Southwest Riverside County Prepare For “The Big One”



LAKE ELSINORE, CA. – In an ongoing effort to raise public awareness of the critical importance for individuals, families and communities to plan and prepare for the occurrence of a catastrophic disaster event such as a major earthquake, the City of Lake Elsinore and its volunteer CITIZEN CORPS organization will be presenting its 5th annual SHAKE OUT EXPO on Saturday October 18th, 2014 from 10:00am to 3:00pm at the city’s historic Diamond Stadium, home of the Lake Elsinore STORM baseball team. 

The SHAKE OUT EXPO is an admission free, “fun-festival” like public event designed to communicate through live presentations, hands on interactive demonstrations and exhibitions an essential knowledge for personal emergency disaster planning and preparedness. 

Our central interactive attraction “THE SEVEN STEPS TO EARTHQUAKE SAFETY”, hosted by local Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) volunteers, “steps” our SOE guests through 7 individual safe and necessary emergency preparedness practices in a family fun way. Completing the SEVEN STEPS enters the guests in the SOE’s 1/2 hourly prize drawing for valuable emergency equipment, supplies and valuable gift certificate from regional merchants.

Along with “THE SEVEN STEPS TO EARTHQUAKE SAFETY” there are many other unique exhibits and attractions to see and do including the RECOVERY EMERGENCY MEDICAL SHELTER, where guests can experience the functions of a field emergency shelter system. The ARE YOU READY? PRESENTATION STAGE featuring guest speakers on emergency preparedness  safety, earthquake science and demonstrations of preparedness products. We’re also excited to announce coming to this years SOE will be the “BIG SHAKER”! The world's biggest mobile earthquake simulator recreating the intense shaking of a magnitude 8.0 earthquake. More than just a ride the BIG SHAKER demonstrates the risks and dangers of not preparing your home, yourself or family for this catastrophic event. 

Also participating at the 2014 SHAKE OUT EXPO, exhibitions from National, State, County and regionally based volunteer emergency response organizations and community organizations such as, CERT, Ham Radio Operators from GTARC (GoldenTriangle Radio Club), BOY SCOUTS. SEARCH & RESUCE groups and the AMERICAN RED CROSS. Along with professional emergency responders CALFIRE, RIVERSIDE COUNTY SHERIFF DEPARTMENT and OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES will be on hand at the SHAKE OUT EXPO to demonstrate and share their emergency preparedness expertise and planning knowledge on what the public should expect from first responders not if, but when disaster strikes.

As in past years, the SHAKE OUT EXPO is happy to partner with a select group of nationally known safety and emergency preparedness suppliers and equipment manufactures along with other local merchants who will be on hand at our SHAKE OUT EXPO MARKETPLACE to showcase, demonstrate and sell the latest in innovative emergency tools, supplies, resources and technologies at special SHAKE OUT EXPO prices! Emergency supplies make great Holiday gifts!

Last years SHAKE OUT EXPO was our biggest year ever due to our staging the event at the DIAMOND STADIUM facilities. This year we plan to expand the SEO footprint to house more exhibit activity, more guest speakers, more vendor participants and many more attendees.

The 2014 SHAKE OUT EXPO is a unique community grown event that will be heavily marketed to encourage attendance, not only in Lake Elsinore, the *“fastest growing city in California” but throughout the equally rapid growing Southwest Riverside County region.
