The Regional Emergency Operations Center recommends that before an earthquake, families create a protection plan, conduct drills, check gas and electricity installations, and store food. During an earthquake, move away from windows and objects that could fall, stay calm, and stay in safe areas. After the earthquake, check the conditions of your home, report emergencies, and stay informed.
