Hazard Preparedness
Create an Earthquake Preparedness Plan
Prepare your household for an earthquake by creating a specific plan. Identify safe spots in each room, establish meeting places (near and far), outline communication strategies, and share the plan with all members.
- Identify safe spots in each room (under sturdy tables/desks, against interior walls away from windows/heavy objects).
- Determine primary and secondary exit routes from your home.
- Establish safe meeting places: one near home, one outside the neighborhood.
Create Defensible Space
Reduce the likelihood of your home igniting from a wildfire by creating defensible space. Clear flammable vegetation, trees, and debris within at least 30 feet (more on slopes) around structures, creating a buffer zone. Maintain this space regularly.
- Zone 1 (0-5 ft from house): Remove *all* flammable vegetation, use non-combustible mulch (gravel), clear debris from under decks, remove flammable items.
- Zone 2 (5-30 ft): Keep grass mowed short, prune lower tree branches (6-10 ft from ground), create space between shrubs and trees, remove dead vegetation.
- Zone 3 (30-100+ ft, depending on slope/vegetation): Thin trees, reduce density of vegetation, remove dead material.
Create an Emergency Kit
Ensure self-sufficiency during severe weather by assembling an emergency kit with essentials: water, non-perishable food, first aid, medications, flashlight, radio, batteries, sanitation items, and important documents.
- Include basics: Water (1 gal/person/day for 3-7 days), Non-perishable food (3-7 days), Battery/hand-crank Radio (NOAA preferred), Flashlight, Extra batteries.
- Add: First aid kit, Medications (7-day supply), Whistle, Dust masks.
