PREPARE IN ADVANCE
Be sure you’re Red Cross Ready. That means:
 Assembling an emergency preparedness kit.
 Creating a household evacuation plan that in-
cludes your pets.
 Staying informed about your community’s risk
and response plans.
Protecting Your Family
 Talk about earthquakes with your family so
that everyone knows what to do in case of an
earthquake. Discussing ahead of time helps
reduce fear, particularly for younger children
 Check at your workplace and your children's
schools and day care centers to learn about
their earthquake emergency plans.
 Pick safe places in each room of your home,
workplace and/or school. A safe place could
be under a piece of furniture or against an in-
terior wall away from windows, bookcases or
tall furniture that could fall on you.
 Practice DROP, COVER and HOLD ON in each
safe place.
