Earthquake Survival
Surviving an earthquake and reducing its impact
requires preparation, planning, and practice. Far in advance, you can
gather emergency supplies, identify and reduce possible hazards in your
home, and practice what to do during and after an earthquake. Learning
what actions to take can help you and your family to remain safe in the
event of an earthquake.
A Disaster Supplies Shortage
When a natural disaster becomes public knowledge many
disaster survival supplies become short in supply. Store shelves and gas
stations often are emptied in a matter of of just hours (it may seem
quicker). Often gasoline, drinking water and food disappear first, along
with batteries, flashlights, propane and other supplies generally used for
camping. These items are very valuable during a disaster survival situation.
