[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Fwd: Earthquake Drill October 20

[Comms]

According to Marjorie’s note, this is only a one minute commitment so probably not worthwhile at a club level but wouldn’t hurt to go thru the instructions on the indicated website at a personal level.

In the midwest, there is the New Madrid Seismic Zone. There's also a smaller zone on the coast of South Carolina. The United States Geological Service has lots of nifty information on earthquakes at https://www.usgs.gov/programs/earthquake-hazards.
