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.
Find Shade
Prevent dangerous heatstroke and conserve energy by actively seeking shade during the hottest parts of the desert day. Utilize natural formations (rocks, trees) or create makeshift shade, and plan strenuous activity for cooler times.
- Actively seek out natural shade sources such as cliffs, large boulders, caves, or the north side of dense vegetation during the hottest part of the day (typically late morning to late afternoon).
- If natural shade is unavailable, use a tarp, emergency blanket, or clothing to create artificial shade.
- Rest in the shade to conserve energy and water.
Create a Flood Emergency Plan
Prepare your household for potential flooding by creating a specific emergency plan. Identify your flood risk, establish evacuation routes to higher ground, create a communication plan, and assemble necessary supplies.
- Determine your specific flood risk (check flood maps, know local flood history).
- Identify safe evacuation routes to higher ground.
- Establish a family communication plan (including out-of-area contact).
