Preparing for Earthquakes: A Guide to Seismic Safety

Preparing for Earthquakes: A Guide to Seismic Safety

February 8, 2023
Share

Seismic zones are areas that are more prone to earthquakes, and North America is no exception. In Canada, cities like Ottawa, Vancouver, Victoria, and Montreal are located in seismic zones, while Los Angeles and San Francisco are located in one of the most active seismic zones in the United States. This makes it important for residents of these cities to be prepared in case of an earthquake. Here are some steps that can help you prepare for an earthquake and stay safe:

  1. Create an emergency plan: Make sure you have a plan in place for what you will do in case of an earthquake. This should include a designated meeting spot for your family, a plan for communication in case phone lines go down, and a list of emergency supplies you need to have on hand.
  2. Stock up on emergency supplies: This includes canned food, bottled water, a first-aid kit, and other essentials. Consider including Yes We Can - Emergency Canned Water in your emergency supplies. This water is canned in aluminium cans that are durable and the product has a shelf life of 100 years.
  3. Secure your home: Take steps to secure items in your home that could fall or cause injury during an earthquake. This includes securing heavy furniture, hanging pictures and mirrors, and installing earthquake latches on cabinets.
  4. Be aware of your surroundings: Be aware of what's around you at all times and pay attention to your surroundings during an earthquake. If you're indoors, get under a desk or table and hold on to it. If you're outdoors, move to an open area away from buildings and power lines.
  5. Know the warning signs: Be aware of the warning signs of an earthquake, including unusual rumbling or shaking, and take immediate action if you feel one.
  6. Stay informed: Stay informed about earthquakes and other emergencies in your area by signing up for emergency alerts, monitoring local news, and following the advice of local authorities.

By following these steps and being prepared, you can help keep yourself and your loved ones safe during an earthquake. Whether you live in Ottawa, Vancouver, Victoria, Los Angeles, San Francisco or Montreal, being prepared for a seismic event is important for all residents. So, make sure to stock up on emergency supplies, including Yes We Can - Emergency Canned Water, and have an emergency plan in place.
