Hon KIRITAPU ALLAN (Minister for Emergency Management): This morning, the annual ShakeOut national earthquake drill and tsunami event took place at 9.30 a.m. I was delighted to join the enthusiastic students of Thorndon primary school for the drill earlier today, and it was great to see colleagues here on the parliamentary precinct get involved as well. I've seen a report that over 660,000 participants from across the country joined us in practising the ShakeOut drill, and the lifesaving actions of drop, cover, and hold, and long or strong, get gone.
