Title

  • Join October 16 Earthquake Drill: Drop, Cover and Hold On!

Description

  • The largest earthquake ever to rattle North America occurred in 1811 in New Madrid, Missouri, near southern Illinois. If a similar quake struck the same spot today - according to a 2008 University of Illinois study - the impact would be catastrophic: 3,500 fatalities, 2.6 million people without electricity, $300 billion in direct economic losses. The regions hospitals, roads, bridges, fuel pipelines and water infrastructure would be in shambles.
