Yesterday's earthquake showed that disasters can strike anywhere, anytime. Are you prepared for an emergency? Do you have an emergency kit, a family communication plan, and a family evacuation plan? For more information on how to create a kit and make plans for you and your family, please visit http://www.ready.gov/. If you have pets, you should also consider making a plan for them. Visit http://www.ready.gov/america/getakit/pets.html for more info on how to prepare for your pets during an emergency and to download a Community Pet Preparedness Toolkit.
Do you know what to do during an earthquake? FEMA's page on earthquakes http://www.fema.gov/hazard/earthquake/index.shtm has valuable information on what to do before, during, and after an earthquake. The U.S. Geological Survey's website http://earthquake.usgs.gov/ also has up-to-date information about earthquakes around the world, as well as how to prepare for a quake. You can also report an earthquake you felt to the USGS via their website.
