How to Prepare for Earthquakes:
- Secure Heavy Items: Anchor bookcases, water heaters, and appliances to walls. Move heavy objects to lower shelves.
- Practice “Drop, Cover, and Hold On”: Teach everyone to get under sturdy furniture and hold on until shaking stops.
- Earthquake Kit: Store water, food, first aid, sturdy shoes, gloves, dust masks, and a whistle.
- After an Earthquake: Check for injuries and hazards, avoid downed power lines, and expect aftershocks.
- Insurance: Review your policy for earthquake coverage. Standard homeowners insurance does not typically cover earthquake damage.
