MUHLENBERG COUNTY, KY – As Japan was hit with yet another earthquake yesterday, Kentucky continues to prepare for the Great Central US Shakeout Earthquake Drill.

The drill is scheduled for April 28, 2011, and the National Level Exercise 2011 (NLE 2011), scheduled for May 16-20.

Scientists, experts and emergency management officials are aware earthquakes similar to, if not greater than, those that recently struck Japan and New Zealand could hit Kentucky anywhere, at any time and are taking steps to educate and prepare Kentuckians.

Kentucky Emergency Management (KYEM), its federal partners, state and local officials, private sector and non-governmental organizations will collaborate on the Great Central U.S. Shakeout and the 2011 National Level Exercise. These events are designed to educate Americans on what they can do to be better prepared for earthquakes, as well as other catastrophic events.
