Resolve to be Ready
California Earthquake Warning
|
|
This January make it part of your New Year's resolution to Resolve to be Ready! A nationwide effort encouraging everyone to be ready for natural disasters. Disasters can occur at any time, with little warning. However, technology is available that can help mitigate damage to infrastructure and even save lives. We are encouraging Californians to have an emergency plan in place and to download free resources like the MyShake App so you’re not caught off guard by the next earthquake.
The MyShake App is available for FREE from the Apple App and Google Play stores. To receive earthquake warnings, download the app and adjust settings to receive emergency alerts by turning location settings to “always-on”. Location services allow the app technology to connect with nearby ground sensors and provide alerts to app users in the area where shaking will occur.

Adapting Emergency Preparedness Plans for COVID-19
|
|
Planning for earthquakes and other potential disasters can be stressful, and because of the 2021 wildfire season during the COVID-19 pandemic, it may be especially so.
Here are some tips on how to adapt your emergency plans to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
- Revisit your emergency preparedness plan. If your household has previously established a family meeting place, consider the location and the potential for crowds of people. Determine a new location if necessary.
- Update your basic first-aid kits with extra cloth face coverings, hand sanitizer, a noncontact thermometer and gloves.
- Update your disaster supplies kit. Add items such as soap, disinfectant wipes, hand sanitizer, additional cloth face coverings and gloves. Consider additional supplies such as sleeping bags, blankets, change of clothing, infant formula/supplies and feminine/personal hygiene items.
- Pay attention to local guidance about updated plans for evacuations and shelters, including shelters for your pets.
- Prepare for assisting seniors. Determine any special assistance vulnerable seniors may need and include them in your emergency plan. Create a support network of family, friends and others who are designated to reach out to those who are most vulnerable.
- Follow physical distancing recommendations when checking on neighbors and friends.
