Thrive San Mateo 🌎 Stay Earthquake Ready, San Mateo! Yesterday, millions of Californians participated in the Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drill, a statewide reminder that preparation saves lives. Earthquakes strike without warning, but knowing what to do — and practicing it — can make all the difference. Remember the basics: Drop, Cover, and Hold On until the shaking stops. If you’re indoors, get under sturdy furniture and protect your head and neck. If you’re outside, move away from buildings, trees, and power lines. It’s also a good time to review your family emergency plan, restock supplies, and sign up for SMPD Alerts at https://local.nixle.com/san-mateo-ca-police-department/. Let’s keep San Mateo safe and prepared — one drill at a time! Learn more at www.shakeout.org/california.
