In recognition of the 200th anniversary of the historic New Madrid earthquakes in 1811-12, Illinois and other central states are working to improve public awareness of our earthquake risk. The Great Central U.S. Shakeout will be held on April 28th at 10:15 as a way for local businesses, schools, and governments to practice their own earthquake plans.
