This weekend we all learned what to do before, during, and after an earthquake. We discussed how to make a family plan, build an emergency Kit and what items should be included in the Kit, and the proper way to store it.
Here’s a tip – if you’re stuck in a high-rise during a quake go to a stairwell, or where the elevators are located to ride out the quake. Those areas are more reinforced than other sections of a high-rise.
Our instructor was Justin E. Ross, Outreach and Volunteer Coordinator for Multnomah County Emergency Management. [email protected]
