I have not seen anything posted about this but was wondering if anyone knew of communities, business', or schools participating in the Great Central US Shakeout today?

Dunno. I know the New Madrid fault could create havoc, but most of Alabama is pretty far removed from it.

I had always assumed that very thing myself. But after reading the USGS new report and seeing the shake hazard for parts of Alabama I see that maybe we need to take notice. USGS Open-File Report 2014–1091: Documentation for the 2014 Update of the United States National Seismic Hazard Maps

There are a lot of hazards we can all prepare for and be anxious about. Earthquakes in Alabama are probably not one that's worth our time to be concerned with. I didn't have time to look in that report with detail. While the risk seems to be estimated to be higher than a previous report, its still probably minimal.
