There
are steps that you can take to reduce the risk of being injured
or killed in the event of an emergency such as an earthquake, fire,
storm/tornado or terrorism.

Find
out what can happen - determine what the possible threats/hazards
are and begin to prepare for or fix them.

a disaster supplies kit in easy to carry containers - have
one at home, one at work and one in your car.

Know
where the emergency exits are at home and at work.

Earthquake
Safety
- Furniture: Secure
the tops of all top-heavy furniture, such as bookcases, to
a stud in the wall.
- Hanging
objects: Ceiling fans and lights should
be additionally supported with a cable bolted to a ceiling
joist, leaving enough slack to allow them to sway.
- In
your kitchen: Unsecured cabinet doors
may fly open allowing glassware and dishes to crash to
the floor.
- Tabletop
objects: TVs,
computers, stereos, etc. can be secured with buckles
and safety straps attached to the tabletop or with hook
and loop fasteners.
- Water
heater: Make sure it is strapped to the
wall. Bracing kits are available in order to do this
- check with your local hardware store.
