WATCH these videos about what to do in an earthquake. Watch them 2 or 3 times. First, watch and listen only. Do it again. Then, click 'cc' at the bottom of the video to see the words (closed captioning). This is GREAT for your listening. These videos talk about California, but everything is true for whatever state has an earthquake. Video #1 is what to do in an earthquake, and video #2 is what to do after an earthquake. Be Prepared. If we have an earthquake you will have some idea what to do.
