PREPAREDNESS TRAINING

Earthquake activity in San Diego County has doubled over that of the preceding 50 years. Since all of these earthquakes have been minor in intensity, most San Diegians are not very concerned.
 

Studies suggest the largest credible earthquake predicted for Tierrasanta is a magnitude 7.2 on the Rose Canyon Fault going right through San Diego.  This would be a catastrophic earthquake for the region.
 

A large earthquake like this will damage buildings, cause broken gas and water lines, fires and a significant amount of “non-structural” incidents. Many of your house-hold contents including mirrors, tall furniture and appliances could topple to the ground within seconds of the starting of the quake. People who do not quickly drop, cover and hold-on when an earthquake begins run a higher risk of serious injury. Unless they prepare.
 

Before the next big earthquake get prepared so you will avoid injury and recover quickly. Here are 4 steps with a basic set of recommended actions for how to get prepared at home or in the workplace.
