Earthquake Preparedness Talk today at Midtown Terrace with CLC's eprep team (Mark and Paul). All part of the Great California ShakeOut. People are reminded of 1989 Loma Prieta 6.9 quake and practicing earthquake safety in October.

Where were you Loma Prieta? Are you ready?

When the shaking starts:

🔹DROP onto your hands and knees.
🔹COVER your head and neck and get under a sturdy table or desk if one is nearby.
🔹HOLD ON until the shaking stops.
Use the ShakeOut as a reminder to practice with your family, review your emergency plan, check your emergency supplies, and secure items around your home that could fall or cause injuries.
📱 Stay connected during an emergency by signing up for AlertOC emergency notifications at alertoc.gov.
A few minutes of practice and preparation today can make a difference when it matters most.
