like food, water, flashlight, buttieries, and fist
aid supplies. Make sure to have a plan in place
for how to communicate and reconnect with
family members during and after earthquake.

2.Secure your home -Identify and fix any potential hazards in your
home, such as unsecured heavy items
(furniture , appliances)that could fall and cause
injury during an earthquake .

3. Educate yourself -Learn about signs of an impending

earthquake , such as ground shaking, strange
sounds, and animals behaving unsually. Also,
know the safe spots in each room, such as under
sturdy furniture or against an interior wall, away
from windows.
 “
REMEMBER, IT’S IMPORTANT TO STAY
CALM DURING AN EARTHQUAKE. DROP
TO THE GROUND,TAKE COVER , AND
HOLD ON UNTIL THE SHAKING STOPS
”
Q3: IF YOU HAVE STRONG, STURDY FURNITURE INSIDE YOUR HOUSE, CAN YOU USE
THEM TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM FALLING OBJECTS ONCE THE QUAKE
STRIKES?
ANS:USING STURDY FUNITURE AS A FORM OF PROTECTION DURING AN
EARTHQUAKE IS NOT RECOMMENDED. WHILE IT MAY SEEM LIKE A
GOOD IDEA, HIDING UNDER FURNITURE DURING AN EARTHQUAKE
CAN ACTUALLY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY. FURNITURE CAN
SHIFT OR COLLAPSE DURING SHAKING, POTENTIALLY CAUSING
MORE HARM THAN IF YOU WERE TO TAKE COVER IN A SAFER
