On Thursday, Nov 13th at 10am a vast majority of Californians will be participating in The Great Southern California fornia ShakeOut, a major earthquake drill This includes the schools, government agencies, business and families. I urge you to go on line to www.shakeout.org to find out more information.
What you don’t know could easily make you a victim rather than a survivor.
Shift happens and it can be anytime, anyplace. Are you ready?
LA has been lucky so far in the timing of these events. We won’t always be so lucky. Many have emergency kits at home, but what about your cars? Do you have a backpack in your car that has comfortable shoes, water, flashlight, etc? If you do then you have a good chance of being a survivor (even if after walking home your feet are very tired and sore). It is so easy and cheap to make a kit: How to make a kit. You can find more info at earthquakecountry.info
You don’t need fancy safety items, just remember the little things like rotating food and water stock.
How many of you have something hanging over your bed? If it falls on you, it could kill you or your loved one. A final but important note is to remember your pet’s needs. Otherwise after a week, you dog might look at you in a different light.
Remember every day we don’t have a disaster, brings us a day closer to having one. The fire department tells us not to count on them for at least 5 days after the event. Good luck and please be safe.
