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.
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.
Acclimatization
Prevent altitude sickness by acclimatizing properly. Ascend slowly, especially above 8,000 feet (limit ~1,000 feet elevation gain per day for sleeping altitude), build in rest days, stay well-hydrated, and eat carbohydrates.
- Plan your ascent schedule to allow gradual exposure to higher elevations.
- Rule of thumb above 8,000-10,000 ft: Ascend no more than 1,000-1,500 ft of sleeping elevation per day.
- Include a rest day (staying at the same elevation) for every 3,000 ft gained.
