Earthquake Preparedness

This short excerpt only gives a snapshot of what you should know about earthquake preparedness. The first indication of an earthquake is the swaying sensation of buildings, combined with a sudden noise or rumbling sound. Next is vibration, rolling up, down and sideways. It can last seconds or a few minutes. The risk factors come from breaking glass, falling objects, and heavy objects bouncing around.

Preparation can help:

• avoid serious injury
• minimize damage to your home
• enable you to survive up to 72 hours without help

Have a safety plan and practice it. The plan should include:

• Task delegation
• Identification of safe places in your home
• Have and know how to operate fire extinguishers
• Learn first-aid, including cardio-pulmonary resuscitation
• Know about your insurance coverage
• practice evacuation
• Have a plan for contact - this needs to include some out-of-the-area contact.
