On October 19th the West Tennessee Seismic Safety Commission is proud to help in the Great Central  Shakeout.  The Shakeout is a earthquake preparedness drill  that is held every year to raise awareness of seismic risk in the region and what steps should people take if an earthquake should occur.  The Commission sponsored public service announcements to raise awareness of the event and its importance.  Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander volunteered to be part of these announcements. The Commission would like to extend its heartfelt thanks for his help in making these announcements possible.
