Find out about earthquakes in your area. Answer the questions: 1. What was the largest earthquake in your area? 2. How can people prepare for an earthquake? What should they do in case of an earthquake? What is the safest place to go?

I don't know your location, so I can't name the largest earthquake in your area. But I can explain how to prepare and stay safe.

How to prepare:

• Secure heavy furniture and appliances to walls.
• Prepare an emergency kit with water, food, flashlight, and first aid supplies.
• Know safe spots in each room: under sturdy tables, against interior walls away from windows.
• Practice “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” drills with your family.

What to do during an earthquake:

• If indoors: drop to the ground, take cover under a strong table, and hold on. Stay away from windows and outside walls.
• If outdoors: move to an open area away from buildings, trees, and power lines.
• If driving: pull over to a clear spot and stay inside the vehicle.

Safest place: Under a sturdy table or desk, or against an interior wall without windows. Avoid doorways unless they are load-bearing.
