More than 13 million Americans are expected to clamber under desks and hide beneath tables on Thursday as they take part in the world's largest-ever earthquake drill.
Families from Los Angeles to New York will dive for cover at 10.18am in each timezone as they rehearse what to do in the event of a major quake.
Local radio stations will simulate news announcers warning that a 7.8
magnitude earthquake is about to strike, while ominous rumblings will play
in the background.
The en masse rehearsal is being coordinated by Shakeout, a Californian group
set up to encourage awareness among people living on the San Andreas fault,
a tectonic fault line that runs along the West Coast.
