Federal and county emergency management officials will host the Great Central U.S. ShakeOut earthquake drill in Marietta on Thursday.
Elementary school students will help demonstrate the correct “drop, cover and hold on” drill for earthquake preparedness. The ShakeOut is the largest earthquake drill in the region and will take place simultaneously across 10 states.
Rex, the mascot of the “Ready” campaign will also assist in the demonstrations.
The drill begins at 10:15 a.m. at Milford Elementary School, 2390 Austell Road SW in Marietta.
