Shakeout 2024 Earthquake Drill

The Virgin Islands ShakeOut
Earthquake Exercise Registration


The Virgin Islands is prone to earthquakes which, depending on their magnitude, could generate a tsunami. You could be anywhere when an earthquake or tsunami strikes: at home, at work, at school or even on vacation.

What you do now can determine your quality of life after the next earthquake or tsunami. Are you prepared to survive and recover quickly?

The annual ShakeOut exercise is an opportunity to practise the safest response to big earthquakes: "Drop, Cover and Hold On" and to tsunamis: "Move to higher ground."


ShakeOut has also been organised to encourage you, your community, your school, or your organisation to prevent loss of life, injury and damage by reviewing and updating earthquake and tsunami emergency preparedness procedures.


Thank you for registering to participate in the ShakeOut exercise.


For more information, reach out to any member of the DDM team at 468-4200. We look forward to helping you Be Ready!
