If you live in an earthquake-prone area, you probably already know it. Those living on the West Coast of the U.S. are aware that an earthquake might strike at any time, and many residents of those areas have lived through a few. If you do live in an earthquake prone area, there are many things that you can do to prepare yourself for the potential shaking.
Prepare - Like any potential emergency, those who prepare beforehand fare a great deal better than those who don�t prepare. Create an emergency plan that includes where to rendezvous with family members and how you will get in touch with each other in the event that there is no cell phone reception. Keep food, water and extra clothing on hand in a safe place, along with an emergency kit consisting of necessary supplies. Make sure everyone in your household knows how and where to shut off water and gas lines.
With kids - In earthquake-prone regions, most schools conduct emergency practice drills for what to do during an earthquake. You may wish to practice these drills with your children at home, so that they know what to do in the event that an earthquake strikes while they are in the house. It's also a good idea to practice general emergency plans and escape routes, in case of an earthquake, fire or other emergency.
During An Earthquake
During an earthquake your adrenaline will quickly spike and your mind and heart will be racing, making it difficult to remember what it is that you're supposed to be doing. In this situation, it's important to focus on your physical safety. Stay away from anything that may fall, drop or shatter. Ceiling fixtures, windows, bookcases, lamps and cabinets will shift and fall. The best places to stand during the shaking tend to be under a piece of sturdy furniture (such as a desk), in a door frame (as long as there isn't a door that could swing closed on you), or on an interior wall. Wherever you are positioned, make sure that your head and neck are protected.
If you are indoors, stay there until the shaking stops. If you are driving, continue until it's safe to stop. Do not stop under a bridge, underpass, power lines, or trees. Remain in your car. If you are caught outdoors, move away from trees, buildings, and power lines. The bottom line is that shaking means falling, so stay away from anything that could fall on you.
Aftermath - Once the shaking stops, check yourself and anyone with you for injury. Fire alarms, sprinklers and car alarms will probably be triggered by the shaking. Move to a safe location that is away from falling debris. Ensure that power, gas and water are shut off at the source in order to prevent additional damage from ruptured gas or water lines or power surges. If you have an earthquake plan with your family, move to your rendezvous point. Be aware that aftershocks (smaller earthquakes) are likely to occur in the coming hours and days.
