 I'm Melissa Algarza, Public Information Officer at Cal OES. Ahead of Great California Shakeout Day on October 19th, Cal OES is embarking on a 7-County Earthquake Preparedness Tour, and the first stop is right here in downtown Sacramento. This week, Cal OES visited Sacramento, San Francisco, and Monterey with our earthquake simulator. This gave riders the experience of shaking similar to the intensity of a 7.0 magnitude earthquake. They also received valuable earthquake preparedness information to get ready for the next quake. And next week, the simulator heads to Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Palm Springs, and San Diego. It's an important reminder that California is earthquake country, and through California's first-in-the-nation earthquake early warning system, Cal OES urges everyone to practice drop, cover, and hold on at 10.19 on October 19th in recognition of Great California Shakeout Day. We're starting to experience more fall-like weather, but we're still not out of the woods when it comes to wildfire risk. In Southern California, gusty Santa Ana winds increase fire risk. Ahead of a wildfire, talk with your family about an emergency plan, pack a go-back with essential items, and know multiple evacuation routes out of your neighborhood.
