Earthquake Preparedness

I gleaned this information from an article on KSL. Click here to read it.

The first step to being prepared is: Have a plan

• Choose two meeting places - one outside your home and one outside your neighborhood in case you can't get to your home.
• Choose an emergency contact person outside your area because it may be easier to get in touch with them if local phone lines are down.
• Prepare a first aid kit with basic supplies.

Basic Items You will Need:

• 72 Hour Kit
• Gloves
• Flashlight with Good Batteries
• Water
• First Aid Kit
• Sturdy Shoes
• Radio with Good Batteries
• Extra Medications
