EARTHQUAKE READY?
Understanding The Risks
- Most Californians live within 30 miles of an active earthquake fault.
- There’s a 99% chance a 6.7 or greater earthquake will strike California within the next 30 years.
- If your home was built before 1980, it may be more vulnerable to earthquake damage.
PROTECT YOURSELF
Earthquake Preparedness Plan
- Know the Risks: Understand the level of seismic activity in your area. Identify safe spots in your home and office.
- Emergency Kit: Keep an emergency kit with essentials like water, non-perishable food, a first-aid kit, flashlights, and a battery-powered radio.
- Family Communication Plan: Establish a family communication plan. Designate an out-of-area contact person and ensure everyone knows who to call.
- Securing Your Home: Fasten shelves securely to walls and place heavy objects on lower shelves. Secure items that could fall and cause injuries.
- Practice Drills: Regularly conduct earthquake drills at home. Practice ‘Drop, Cover, and Hold On’ – drop to the ground, take cover under a sturdy table, and hold on until the shaking stops.
- Stay Informed: Stay updated on the latest information and advisories from local authorities and seismic experts.
