C<\/span>alifornia is known for its earthquakes. Unlike wildfires which can be somewhat predictable and avoidable, there\u2019s never much warning before an earthquake occurs. Even with the surprisingly accurate MyShake earthquake phone app you usually have less than a minute to prepare yourself for the tremor.<\/p>\n

Early preparation and common sense is your best line of defense when it comes to surviving a California<\/em> earthquake.<\/p>\n

Keep Your Home in Good Repair<\/h3>\n

Routinely go through your home and any outbuildings and make sure that they are earthquake<\/em> ready. The house met the current earthquake building guidelines when it was constructed, but it\u2019s up to you to make sure that it stays earthquake ready<\/a>. The best way to make sure your home remains standing during an earthquake is by staying on top of all home repairs.<\/p>\n

Secure Your Space<\/h3>\n

At least once a week, go through your entire house and make sure it\u2019s earthquake-proof<\/a>. Make sure there is enough room in closets for you to fit into the small space during an earthquake. Double-check that you haven\u2019t placed anything on a high shelf where it could fall off and hit you during an earthquake. <\/p>\n

Create a Disaster Plan<\/h3>\n

Creating a disaster plan for an earthquake isn\u2019t easy. You have no way of knowing where you or the rest of your family will be when an earthquake takes place. What you can do is arrange a place where everyone will meet following a large earthquake. You can also make sure that your entire family has a communication plan in place that will allow you to connect with one another after the earthquake.<\/p>\n

Have Emergency Supplies on Hand<\/h3>\n

Create small emergency packs and store them throughout your home. The packs should contain non-perishable food, first aid supplies, a flashlight, batteries, and water. You should keep at least one of these packs in each of your rooms as well as in your car.<\/p>\n

Purchase Earthquake Protection<\/h3>\n

Make sure you\u2019re insured against an earthquake. This insurance means you\u2019ll get reimbursed if your home is destroyed during the earthquake, making it possible for you to start over.<\/p>\n

Lend a Helping Hand<\/h3>\n

Once you\u2019ve successively survived a California earthquake, it\u2019s time to help others. Check on your neighbors and make sure they\u2019re okay. Offer to shelter to those who need it. Volunteer with earthquake survival groups<\/em>. The sooner everyone pitches in to help, the sooner the state will recover from the earthquake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
