Christchurch, New Zealand September 2010 M7.0 California/Mexico Border April 2010 M7.2 Protect Yourself from Falling Objects!

If inside, stay inside! If outside, stay outside! Drop to the floor -before the earthquake drops you! Take Cover -under a sturdy desk or table -Or get down next to a wall and cover your head with your arms Hold On to it firmly -Be ready to move with it until the shaking stops. Protect Yourself During Earthquakes

Why Drop, Cover, and Hold On? Buildings rarely collapse in California Most people are injured in earthquakes by things falling on them Get under something to be safe! DO NOT get in a doorway! –It does not protect you from falling items, and in strong shaking you can not stand DO NOT believe the “triangle of life”! –You are safer under, not next to a table – explains why

Why is the ShakeOut important? California is earthquake country. An earthquake can happen at any time! Californians need to know and practice what to do during large earthquakes Red and yellow areas will have strong, frequent shaking Los Angeles Bay Area

We’re All in This Together! What we do now determines what life will be like afterwards

Get Ready Before the Next Earthquake! At home, work, and school… Secure Your Space -Strap furniture to walls -Put latches on cabinets -Secure TVs and computers Create or update plans -Communication plan -Where will everyone meet -Learn first aid, etc. Store more water -At least one gallon per person, per day -For at least 3 days, ideally for 2 weeks Organize food/supplies for 3 days Have a fire extinguisher ?
