Sonoma County residents are urged to join the Sonoma County Shake Out drill on April 18 at 10 a.m., as part of the annual observance of National Earthquake Preparedness Month. This exercise offers the community an opportunity to practice the recommended safety action of drop, cover and hold on during an earthquake.
Teaming up with local nonprofits, the County aims to remind residents about the crucial steps to safeguard themselves and their loved ones during seismic events. April 18 also marks the 118th anniversary of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the second largest recorded earthquake in California history.
"The Shake Out drill provides our community with a valuable opportunity to practice earthquake response procedures," said Supervisor David Rabbitt, chair of the Board of the Supervisors and a State Seismic Safety Commission member. "Our goal is to ensure that everyone is prepared to protect themselves and assist their neighbors in times of crisis. Let's stay alert and ready."
Previously, Sonoma County participated in the Great California ShakeOut, which is traditionally held in October. However, due to the heightened wildfire risk during that month, local officials, including those in Sonoma County, have chosen to conduct earthquake drills in April.
Earthquakes can occur suddenly, at any time of year, day or night. It's essential for everyone to have a preparedness plan in place, know what to do during tremors and understand how to assist others immediately afterward. Tips for earthquake preparedness include:
CUSEC and the constituent CUSEC Member States use exercises as an opportunity to conduct joint planning, and test information sharing and shared situational awareness capabilities. While earthquake scenarios frame most exercises, some exercises explore other types of disasters. This page includes examples of, and related resources for, exercises that CUSEC and CUSEC Members have participated in.
Under the direction of the CUSEC Board of Directors, CAPSTONE-14 was a three-year, multi-state scope of planning and preparedness activities culminating in a major, multi-state earthquake exercise in June 2014. It was designed to strengthen partnerships between local, state, and federal governments, while engaging public and private sector entities in planning response and recovery from a catastrophic earthquake occurring within the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ).
CAPSTONE-14 included mitigation, preparedness, recovery, and response planning activities that directly support legislation in the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program. Additionally, the exercise supported plans to improve building inspection capabilities and promote code adoption to enhance seismic safety and community resilience. CAPSTONE-14 built off of lessons learned during the New Madrid Seismic Zone Catastrophic Planning Project and National Level Exercise 2011 (NLE11).
CUSEC and Member States participated in the 2011 National Level Exercise (NLE-2011). Leading up to the exercise, CUSEC coordinated a series of regional workshops leading to a Resource Allocation Workshop (RAW), providing an opportunity for comprehensive planning to coordinate mobilization, staging, deployment, and tracking of the vast amount of resources needed in such a catastrophic event as a New Madrid earthquake.
Supporting public safety agencies during emergencies and planned events, FirstNet keeps first responders connected on the scene and can keep those lines of communications open as an incident evolves. At the response exercise, FirstNet was onsite to ensure that the technology was running smoothly and to supply deployable assets like High Power User Equipment (HPUE) which are devices that can significantly boost cellular transmission strength, and ROG the Dog, our trained therapy dog program that can be requested for first responders during natural and manmade disasters.
During disasters, like the one practiced at the training, interoperability between agencies is absolutely critical to keep victims and first responders safer. FirstNet provides a level of connection that allows these agencies to stay in touch when they are on the front lines.
Our FirstNet Response Operations Program is designed to help these different agencies stay connected during disasters. Guiding the deployment of FirstNet assets based on the needs of public safety, the program collaborates with agencies during training exercises and drills to ensure that we are prepared before disaster strikes.
Moroc Mantlet is an annual disaster response exercise that has been conducted for several years. The exercise is designed to increase capacity and increase expertise in disaster recovery and response. Specifically targeting military to civilian interaction and response and recovery practices. It has been an honor for the Utah National Guard to participate with the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces in exercises such as these for the past 20 years. We are continuously impressed by the capability and professionalism displayed by our partners in Morocco. They share many values with us as citizens of Utah including a strong sense of family and community.
The Utah National Guard has sent roughly 20 people to Morocco in the past two days and expects nearly 40 more to arrive in the country before Sept. 12 as regular participants in the Moroc Mantlet exercise. These exercise participants stand ready to assist Moroccan authorities in response this tragic earthquake but will continue their normally planned missions until directed otherwise.
The Utah National Guard as a premier, community-based force comprised of relevant and trained citizen-Soldiers and Airmen, proud to be partnered with Morocco, U.S. Allies since 1777. We stand ready to respond to assigned missions at home or anywhere in the world.

EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska - The 168th Wing and the Alaska National Guard Joint Force Headquarters conducted an earthquake continuity of operations (COOP) exercise, moving the joint operations center from Anchorage to Fairbanks May 1-5.
The 168th Wing Joint Operations Center and Crisis Action Management Team worked alongside counterparts from the Army National Guard and members of the Joint Operations Center at Alaska National Guard Joint Force Headquarters.
The exercise focused on the immediate response to a 9.2 magnitude earthquake, including emergency communications to respond to the seismic zone and coordinate with local, state and federal agencies. In this scenario, the earthquake disrupted public utilities and caused widespread infrastructure damage in southern Alaska.
Emergency managers from Washington state also participated in the exercise. Alaska has a mutual aid agreement with Washington for Emergency Management Assistance Compact capabilities. All 50 states, three territories, and the District of Columbia have EMAC agreements, enabling interstate aid in a disaster.
It happens in just seconds. One moment, everything is normal, and the next, the ground is shaking and rolling and the buildings around you are rocked with potentially deadly quakes. Earthquakes are one of the most unpredictable disasters, and they happen all over the globe, particularly in areas around the edges of tectonic plates and areas with lots of underground mining.
A tabletop exercise is a training activity that allows your team to evaluate and practice their response to a potential emergency in a simulated, controlled environment. These exercises are discussion-based and usually conducted in a meeting room or around a conference table, where participants gather to discuss and analyze a hypothetical scenario and run through the emergency response plan rather than physically drilling it.
Running a full-scale earthquake drill is an incredibly useful strategy for disaster preparedness. But these drills can be expensive and time-consuming, especially if you have not already trained your response. A tabletop exercise offers a low-stakes opportunity to create a sort of muscle memory for your response. These exercises work great when leading up to full-scale drills and practice runs. Since earthquakes can set off disastrous chain reactions, having dedicated training to go through all the different crisis situations will help everyone on your emergency response team and beyond become familiar with what they should be doing, no matter what complications arise. Then, the drill proves they can actually perform their roles.
Creating a tabletop exercise for earthquake disasters is relatively straightforward in just five steps. And it can be made even simpler by using an earthquake tabletop exercise template. Follow these five steps, and download this free tabletop exercise template to get started.
