The ShakeOut Drill Broadcast
To accompany your drill, audio and video recordings are provided below for download or viewing on YouTube. Each provide instructions for how to Drop, Cover, Hold On, and are accompanied by earthquake sound effects. Also included are versions without sound effects, and the sound effects alone with no narration.
Using these resources is not required, but may make your drill more interesting and educational.
