Practice Earthquake Safety
--------------------------
Earthquakes can strike without warning, and being prepared for such a
disaster can mean the difference between life and death. Here are some
tips to help you and your loved ones make it through a quake:
~ Those living in areas not prone to earthquakes can respond quickly to
the plight of disaster victims in quake zones by complacently smirking
and saying, "I told you so."
~ To minimize loss and damage in a quake, try not to own things.
~ Practice your burrowing-out-from-under-40-tons-of-rubble skills ahead
of time.
~ Look out your window often. If you see a large, zig-zag-shaped
crevasse moving rapidly from the horizon toward your home, step either
to the right or the left.
~ For those who fear earthquakes, it may comfort you to know that a
majority of the damage during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake did not
come from the tremors themselves. Instead, it was from the raging, out-
of-control fires that consumed most of the city.
~ A doorway is the safest place to be during a quake. Eat, sleep, and
work in doorways.
~ Be sure to mail your house-insurance payments a full five business
days before a major earthquake strikes.
~ In the event of a quake, get under something heavy, such as a desk, a
table, or your boss.
~ If you are caught in a major earthquake in Southern California and are
part of the entertainment industry, take a moment or two to reflect on
how grossly you've wasted your life.
