📰 News we're reading
• Statewide Earthquake Drill Set for Thursday (mynewsla.com) — Local government employees in La Quinta will join a massive statewide earthquake drill Thursday at 10:15 a.m., practicing the “drop, cover and hold on” response. With more than 600,000 Riverside County participants registered, officials urge residents to prepare to be self-sufficient for 72 hours after a major quake, including storing water, food, medications, and knowing how to shut off household gas lines. 
• Indio single-family home prices take a slight hit while condo values drop 14% (theindiopost.com) — La Quinta homeowners will be interested to know that both detached and attached home prices in the city rose in the latest Greater Palm Springs Realtors housing report, even as some neighboring markets softened. Across the Coachella Valley, overall prices were mostly flat and sales slowed, signaling a shift toward a more balanced market that neither strongly favors buyers nor sellers.
