Earthquake Preparedness

It was suggested by one of our readers, that in light of the earthquakes of late, and we know a big one will hit in Wa. State sooner or later, that we post some information on EARTHQUAKE PREPAREDNESS.

Thanks to Bob Foster for the suggestion.

Following are some links that should suffice for homeowners and pretty much anybody else wondering how to prepare for an earthquake.

The first item at hand, was posted on our blog back in December 2009. The Emergency Supplies Checklist may be downloaded (in PDF Format) here: http://indexwa.org/blog/files/ekit.pdf.

The rest of the links are government links and are worth a read, even if you think you are prepared.
