Top Things to Know and Do BEFORE an Earthquake

101
Practice “DROP, COVER, AND HOLD ON” with your whole family, and protect your heads!

92
Know safe spots (like
under tables, or doorframes) and hazardous spots
(like shelves, stuffed garages, and under trees)
in your home.

83
Arrange your furniture
so that every room has
at least one safe spot,
away from windows.

74
Bolt all tall furniture, like bookcases, to the wall using wall studs from a local hardware store.

65
Have an out-of-town friend or family member with whom you can stay afterwards.

56
Learn how to turn off your gas in case authorities request you to do so (remember—never turn
it back on by yourself!).

47
Expect aftershocks!
