If I were in an area where earthquakes happen, I would prepare myself in the following ways:

• Identify things that can move: Secure heavy furniture, appliances, and other objects that could fall over and cause injury.
• Find places to hide: Identify safe spots in each room, such as under sturdy tables or desks, or against interior walls away from windows.
• Gather essential supplies: Prepare an emergency kit with food, water, a first-aid kit, a flashlight, and other necessary items to last for at least 72 hours.
