Answers
Answer:
Install latches on cupboard doors to prevent them from opening during a quake.
Use non-skid shelf liners for kitchen and bathroom cupboards, medicine cabinets, and closet shelves.
Store heavy items or glassware in lower cabinets so they do not become dangerous projectiles.
Update home insurance policies to adequately cover building costs, possession replacement, and injury deductibles.
Secure large appliances such as refrigerators, water heaters, air conditioners, and other bulky items with straps, bolts, and other stabilizing methods.
Be sure both old and new buildings meet earthquake construction requirements.
Do not put heavy artwork, mirrors, or shelves over beds.
Firmly secure bookcases, artwork, mounted televisions and other objects to withstand as much shaking as possible.
Take clear photos of valuables as a record for insurance purposes.
