CAUSES EFFECTS PREVENTION AND MITIGATION

Earthquake ~buildings collapsing  Seek shelter under stable tables or under door frames.
~property damage  If outside, stay away from buildings, bridges and electricity pylons and
move to open areas.
 Avoid areas at risk from secondary processes, such as landslides, rock
fall and soil liquefaction.
 After an earthquake, check gas, water and electricity pipes and lines for
damage.
 Listen to the radio and follow the instructions issued by the authorities.

Tsunami ~houses, Buildings, and  Know and practice community evacuation plans and map out your
other structures routes from home, work, and play.
destroyed.  Pick shelters 100 feet or more above sea level, or at least one mile
inland.
 Create a family emergency communication plan that has an out-of-state
contact.
 Plan where to meet if you get separated.
Volcano ~toxic gases released  Listen for emergency information and alerts.
into the atmosphere.  Follow evacuation or shelter orders. If advised to evacuate, then do so
early.
 Avoid areas downstream of the eruption.
 Protect yourself from falling ash.
 Do not drive in heavy ash fall.
 Cloth masks help prevent the spread of COVID-19, but they will not
adequately protect you from inhaling ash for longer periods of time like
a respirator will. Respirators, like an N-95, are not meant to fit children.
Due to COVID-19, it may be difficult to find respirators, such as N-95s.

Flood ~household wastes get  Raise your home on stilts or piers. While expensive to build
into the water systems retroactively, raising your house on stilts will raise your house's flood
power outages. level. Since even an inch of flood water can lead to significant damage,
raising your home above the flood level will substantially protect your
home.
 Install foundation vents or a sump pump. Foundation vents, a form of
"wet flood-proofing," allow water to flow through your home, rather
than pool around it. This both provides an outlet for flood water and
relieves the significant pressure it can put on your walls and basement
windows. Sump pumps are frequently used to pump water out
of basements where flooding happens regularly. We recommend a
sump pump with a battery backup in case the power goes out.
 Apply coatings and sealants. A form of "dry flood-proofing," coatings
and sealants that you apply to your foundation, walls, windows and
doorways help prevent flood water from leaking into your house
through cracks.
 Raise your electrical outlets and switches. All outlets, switches, sockets
and circuit breakers should be at least one foot above flood level to
avoid significant electrical damage in the case of a flood.
 Install check valves on your pipes. Make sure that all pipes entering
your house have valves to prevent a flooded sewage system from
backing up into your home. Gate valves are preferred over flap valves,
 since they provide a better seal against flood pressure.
 Grade your lawn away from the house. If your lawn tilts toward your
house, rainwater will pool around your home. Use a heavy soil that
contains clay and sand to regrade your lawn so that surface runoff
empties into an appropriate place, such as a street gutter.
 Leave space between mulch and siding. Wet mulch can rot your
house's siding, which in turn can lead to leaks. Keep space between
your mulch and siding so that the base of your house can completely
dry after rainstorms.
 Point your downspouts away from your home. If your gutter runoff is
not pointed away from your house in an appropriate direction, it can
pool at the corners of your house and may eventually create leaks in
your basement.
Drought ~Dried up lakes and  Never pour water down the drain when there may be another use for
other water resources. it. For example, use it to water your indoor plants or garden.
~loss of livestock and  Repair dripping faucets by replacing washers. One drop per second
crops. wastes 2,700 gallons of water per year.
 Check all plumbing for leaks and have any leaks repaired by a plumber.
 Retrofit all household faucets by installing aerators with flow
restrictors.
 Install an instant hot water heater on your sink.
 Insulate your water pipes to reduce heat loss and prevent them from
breaking.
 Install a water-softening system only when the minerals in the water
would damage your pipes. Turn the softener off while on vacation.
 Choose appliances that are more water and energy efficient.
