Earthquake Preparedness

The American Red Cross has published valuable safety information regarding earthquake preparedness for you and your family.

I believe the information is worth sharing as it may reduce the likelihood of an injury in the event of a significant earthquake. Here are a few of the main points:

Pre-identify a safe place in your home or work, such as a sturdy desk, where you can drop, cover and hold on, keep a flashlight and shoes near your bed, secure heavy or tall furniture to wall studs and keep emergency supplies in an easy-to-access location.
