How do you prepare for major earthquakes? If you have kids teach them where to go, NOT to run outside. Have a fire extinguisher. Water for whole family ( for min. of 3 days) Same with food ^ Teach all safety drills. (Duck, cover, hold) Strap all objects that may fall and cause harm.

What will a 9.0 earthquake do to us? Destroy cities Most buildings will collapse, cause of the moving of the plates. Floods Be felt throughout the whole state (That the Cascadia Subduction zone runs through) Destruction for 100’s of miles in every direction Fires
