Emergency Preparedness - Earthquakes

Japan very recently experienced a 7.3 magnitude earthquake and it reminds us that we must be prepared to be on our own for up to 72 hours. You could be at home, work, or out of town when a large “quake” hits. Do you have enough supplies at home, in your car, and at work to be comfortable for those three days?

For tips, how to prepare, or what to pack, please visit https://www.ready.gov/earthquakes for guidelines to keep in mind before, during, and after an earthquake.

Morgan Hill's Office of Emergency Services has a series of YouTube videos that detail what you and your family can do to prepare: https://www.youtube.com/user/CityOfMorganHill.
