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 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).
Acclimatization
Prevent altitude sickness in mountainous terrain by acclimatizing properly. Ascend slowly, especially above 8,000 feet (limit ~1,000 feet elevation gain per day for sleeping altitude), include rest days, hydrate well, and eat carbohydrates.
- Plan ascent profile carefully: limit sleeping elevation gain to 1000-1500 ft per day above 8000-10000 ft.
- Incorporate rest days (no elevation gain) every 3000 ft.
- If possible, hike higher during the day and sleep lower.
