The Great Shakeout 2022 🪨
•••
The Great California Shakeout takes place every October 20th at 10:20am, to increase awareness and encourage earthquake preparedness.  Everywhere across California, participants Drop, Cover and Hold On, a life-saving practice during an earthquake.  In addition to observing the traditional earthquake drill, The Human Services Agency Mass Care & Shelter team, Ventura County Sheriff’s Office of Emergency Services, and emergency personnel and staff from csuci ci_police partnered to exercise evacuation shelter capabilities. The County of Ventura has a comprehensive shelter plan, with locations strategically placed throughout the county to meet the needs of residents who find themselves displaced due to disaster-driven evacuations. 

To continually improve the County’s preparedness and disaster response capabilities, the Human Services Agency is expanding shelter location resources by introducing the Shelter Express Program.  Through strategic partnerships with local government entities, non-profit and faith-based organizations, the County builds shelter capabilities by pre-staging equipment to house small contingencies of displaced residents at a growing list of locations. 

Today, following the Great Shakeout drill, the newest Shelter Express location was opened at California State University Channel Islands.  Campus emergency services staff and law enforcement provided facilities and resources and solicited student volunteers to act as shelter registrants.  The exercise was led by the Human Services Agency, their partners The americanredcross salvationarmyus, in conjunction with the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office of Emergency Services.  The exercise also provided an opportunity to utilize the Auxiliary Communication Services team to test emergency communication capabilities. 

The countyofventura CEO, Dr. Sevet Johnson, Sheriff Bill Ayub, CSUCI Chief of Police Drake Massey  were on site to observe and show support for the many agencies that come together to safeguard community resilience.
