Earthquake Safety Tips

Did You Know?

  • Doorways are no stronger than any other part of a structure so don’t rely on them for protection! During an earthquake, get under a sturdy piece of furniture and hold on. It will help shelter you from falling objects that could injure you during an earthquake.
  • To date, no one has predicted an earthquake. To do so requires identifying the fault, giving the magnitude, and limiting the time period when the event would occur.
  • Most homeowners insurance does not cover damage caused by earthquakes. Read your policy carefully. Go to the California Earthquake Authority for more information on obtaining earthquake insurance in California.  Emergency loans or grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) do not take the place of earthquake insurance. Read up on it at FEMA.gov.
  • Mobile homes and homes not attached to their foundations are at particular risk during an earthquake. Buildings with foundations resting on landfill and other unstable soils are at increased risk of damage.
  • Talking on a cell phone takes up the same bandwidth as 800 text messages. After a disaster, use of cell phones can overload and shut down wireless phone service and prevent 911 calls from getting through. To communicate after an earthquake, send a text, don’t call. Even if your text gets a “busy signal” the phone will continue attempting to send the message.

Know what to do in an Earthquake – and what NOT to do – when the ground starts to shake where you are!

Southern California Earthquake Center has prepared the following earthquake safety video to demonstrate their recommended earthquake survival technique.

Make sure your know what to do in an earthquake: Practice Drop, Cover and Hold On at home, at work, at school!

 

In addition to practicing the Drop, Cover and Hold On earthquake survival technique recommended by FEMA and Earthquake Country Alliance experts, be sure your earthquake kits and disaster supplies are up to date for home, car, school and workplace!

Discuss your household earthquake readiness plan with every member of your family. Be sure everyone knows where the earthquake emergency supplies are kept!

Remember, earthquakes can happen anywhere! There’s never a better time to get yourself and your family prepared: Make a Plan, Get a Kit, Be Safe!

Getting prepared now will bring you peace of mind knowing that you have an emergency plan, and that your loved ones have earthquake survival supplies in place. An added bonus of making sure your earthquake kit is complete now – and updated – is that you will be putting your gear together while emergency supplies are readily available. After a quake, even if it is a moderate earthquake where area roads are not damaged, essential survival supplies are depleted quickly and there is often a delay in obtaining safety equipment and emergency products.
