INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The head of the Indiana Department of Homeland Security says the state's participation in the second Great Central United States ShakeOut was "tremendously successful."
The nine-state earthquake drill was held Wednesday on the 200th anniversary of the 1812 New Madrid Earthquakes.
Homeland Security Executive Director Joe Wainscott says the agency's goals were to raise awareness about the threat of earthquakes and promote preparedness. He says hundreds of thousands of students, businesses and families across the state learned about earthquake safety,
The agency says more than 525,000 people in Indiana registered to participate in the drill. That's more than a quarter of the 2 million total participants who registered in advance.
