Earthquake preparedness

Earthquake preparedness involves planning and practicing safety measures to protect yourself during a quake. This includes securing heavy furniture, creating an emergency kit with essentials like water and first aid supplies, and knowing how to Drop, Cover, and Hold On during shaking. It's also important to identify safe spots indoors, such as under sturdy furniture, and to develop a family communication plan. Staying informed through alerts and practicing these steps regularly can reduce injury and confusion during an actual earthquake, helping you respond quickly and safely.
