Movement of the ground seldom is the actual cause of death or injury. Most casualties result from partial building collapses, falling objects and debris, like toppling chimneys, falling bricks, ceiling plaster, and light fixtures. Many of these conditions can be prevented by taking a few steps now to prepare.
Place heavier objects on lower shelves to prevent breakage and personal injury.
Bolt to walls anything that might topple, like top-heavy shelves, appliances, and furniture. Don't hang heavy picture frames or mirrors over the bed. Don't hang plants in heavy pots that could swing free of hooks.
Strap your water heater to wall studs with metal plumbing tape to prevent broken pipes and fires.
Locate master switches and shutoff valves for all utilities and know how to turn them off. Your local utility company can show you.
Keep on hand a flashlight; a portable radio with fresh batteries; a first-aid kit; a fire extinguisher (Class C is designed to use safely on any type of fire, including electrical, grease, and gas); a three-day supply of fresh water; nonperishable, ready-to-eat foods; and an adjustable wrench for turning off gas and water.
