Council is hoping to encourage as many people as possible in the Ruapehu region to take part in this year's 'ShakeOut 2022' national earthquake drill on October 27 at 9:30am.
The yearly ShakeOut exercise encourages schools, businesses, organizations, and whānau to sign-up online then ‘Drop, Cover, Hold’ for 30 to 60 seconds at 9:30am when the practice earthquake hits.
To find more about taking part in ShakeOut 2022 see SHAKEOUT.GOVT.NZ where you will find everything you need to know and also be in the draw to win a Civil Defence wheelie bin or a personal
grab bag!
If you are involved with young people get them to have a go at our special colouring-in activity featuring Stan the dog practicing for the ShakeOut.
When your kids have finished, please bring their picture back into your local library to display.
