Shake It Off! Earthquake Drill at CSN

Mark your calendars, CSN! On Thursday, October 17, at exactly 10:17 a.m., we’re joining the rest of Nevada for the Great Nevada ShakeOut. It’s not just any drill—it’s your chance to get earthquake-ready.

Here’s what to do during the drill:

If you can’t get under a table, no worries! Just move next to an interior wall, crouch down, and protect your head and neck with your hands and arms.
