Your family may not be together if a disaster strikes, so it is important to know which types of disasters could affect your area. Know how you’ll contact one another and reconnect if separated. Establish a family meeting place that’s familiar and easy to find.
Your family may not be together if a disaster strikes, so it is important to know which types of disasters could affect your area. Know how you’ll contact one another and reconnect if separated. Establish a family meeting place that’s familiar and easy to find.
Step 1: Put a plan together by discussing the questions below with your family, friends or household to start your emergency plan.
How will I receive emergency alerts and warnings?
What is my shelter plan?
What is my evacuation route?
What is my family/household communication plan?
Do I need to update my emergency preparedness kit?
Step 2: Consider specific needs in your household.
As you prepare your plan tailor your plans and supplies to your specific daily living needs and responsibilities. Discuss your needs and responsibilities and how people in the network can assist each other with communication, care of children, business, pets or specific needs like operating medical equipment. Create your own personal network for specific areas where you need assistance. Keep in mind some these factors when developing your plan:
Different ages of members within your household
Responsibilities for assisting others
Locations frequented
Dietary needs
Medical needs including prescriptions and equipment
Disabilities or access and functional needs including devices and equipment
Languages spoken
Cultural and religious considerations
Pets or service animals
Households with school-aged children

Learn from the 7.3 magnitude Landers California earthquake. It was the largest earthquake on record for 40 years when it occurred on June 28, 1992 just north or Joshua Tree National Park.
Learn from the 7.3 magnitude Landers California earthquake. It was the largest earthquake on record for 40 years when it occurred on June 28, 1992 just north or Joshua Tree National Park.
Southern Californians were shaken awake at 4:57 a.m. on June 28, 1992, by the region's largest earthquake in 40 years – the magnitude 7.3 Landers earthquake. Its location in the desert in San Bernardino County, north of Joshua Tree National Park, meant that the strongest shaking was in a relatively low populated area. Still, there was severe damage to roads, buildings, and their contents; hundreds of people were injured; and there were 3 fatalities. The earthquake ruptured for more than 40 miles along several faults, which was one of the key lessons learned by scientists who studied the earthquake sequence (which began on April 22 with the magnitude 6.1 Joshua Tree earthquake, was followed a few hours later by the magnitude 6.3 Big Bear earthquake, and continued with thousands of aftershocks for many years).

This significant event was remembered on June 28, 2022 with presentations on new scientific theory's and understanding was learned from this quake, and personal lessons learned by local residents who lived through it.

Stay Safe After an earthquake
Stay Safe After an earthquake
There can be serious hazards after an earthquake, such as damage to the building, leaking gas and water lines, or downed power lines.
Expect aftershocks to follow the main shock of an earthquake. Be ready to Drop, Cover, and Hold On if you feel an aftershock.
If you are in a damaged building, go outside and quickly move away from the building. Do not enter damaged buildings.
If you are trapped, send a text or bang on a pipe or wall. Cover your mouth with your shirt for protection and instead of shouting, use a whistle.
If you are in an area that may experience tsunamis, go inland or to higher ground immediately after the shaking stops. Avoid contact with floodwaters as they can contain chemicals, sewage, and debris.
Check yourself to see if you are hurt and help others if you have training. Learn how to be the help until help arrives.
If you are sick or injured and need medical attention, contact your healthcare provider for instructions. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 9-1-1.
Once you are safe, pay attention to local news reports for emergency information and instructions via battery-operated radio, TV, social media or from cell phone text alerts.
Register on the American Red Cross “Safe and Well” website so people will know you are okay.
Use text messages to communicate, which may be more reliable than phone calls.
Be careful when cleaning up. Wear protective clothing, including a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, work gloves and sturdy thick-soled shoes. Do not try to remove heavy debris by yourself. Wear a mask and maintain a physical distance of at least six feet while working with someone else. Use an appropriate mask if cleaning mold or other debris. People with asthma and other lung conditions and/or immune suppression should not enter buildings with indoor water leaks or mold growth that can be seen or smelled. Children should not take part in disaster cleanup work.
