Surviving Earthquakes

Surviving Earthquakes provides essential knowledge to help you and your family stay safe when the ground starts to shake. Organized into three clear sections—before, during, and after an earthquake—it explains how to prepare a safety plan, assemble emergency supplies, and secure your home to reduce risks. Step-by-step instructions guide you through what to do during the shaking, including how to “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” and how to protect yourself in different environments such as at home, in a vehicle, or outdoors. Post-event sections cover safely checking for hazards, managing aftershocks, and beginning recovery and communication with emergency services. Durable, portable, and designed for quick reference, this guide is a practical tool to help you respond confidently and effectively when an earthquake occurs.
