It is a part of disaster of preparedness month in the State, such as in a proclamation by Governor Chris Gregoire.

Officials offer separate plane structure such as schools, businesses and citizens can take part at home. The basics: "drop" under a desk or table, your head or neck with one hand and for two minutes on a desk leg with the other "keep"Cover"".

Businesses and families are encouraged, contingency plans ahead of time and have prepared emergency kits to develop.
