What to do before an Earthquake

10/01/2025

Before an earthquake, secure your home contents, make a disaster plan, and assemble a disaster supply kit. Prioritize water since earthquakes can disrupt supply or purification.

Contact your insurance company for an annual checkup to ensure you understand your policy and have adequate coverage. If you have an older home, strengthen it with retrofits to withstand shaking.

To prepare your business or organization for an earthquake, download the free Ready Business QuakeSmart Toolkit and watch the videos to kickstart your planning.
