GREAT CALIFORNIA SHAKEOUT: October 15, 2026 10:15 am

DROP. COVER. HOLD ON. 

UCR is participating along with millions of others in the Great California ShakeOut. Major earthquakes may happen anywhere you work, live, or travel in California. The ShakeOut is our chance to practice how to protect ourselves, assess our work spaces for potential earthquake hazards and to exercise UCR's emergency communications systems.  The goal is to prevent a major earthquake from becoming a catastrophe for you, your family, the university, and our community. 

You can also hear information about a campus emergency by calling 1-888-UCR-WARN or 1-888-827-9276.
