Earthquakes can happen without warning. If you feel shaking or get an alert, Drop, Cover, and Hold On. Review the safety steps at EarthquakeCountry.org/step5.

Do you know recommended emergency supplies and locations where they should be kept? Our Step 3: Organize Emergency Supplies worksheet lists key supplies and where you might store them. It is available in 16 languages at: EarthquakeCountry.org/languages #EmergencyPreparedness

One aspect of #preparedness is minimizing the financial hardship that could come from an earthquake. Organize key documents, look at ways to strengthen your property, and review insurance options. Step 4 can help: EarthquakeCountry.org/step4.
