You’re in your car when a serious quake hits. What to do?
- Carefully get out of traffic and stop.
- Stay in your car.
- Keep your radio on.
- Don’t stop if under or on a bridge, under trees, light posts, power lines, or signs
- If you resume driving, watch out for problems with or on the road.
- Never drive over a downed power line.
Get an emergency back pack kit for your car and have a comfortable pair of walking shoes in your trunk. And a little extra water. Expect roads to be impassable and be prepared to be walking home or to a shelter. Expect after-shocks.
The Little Firefighter Automatic Gas Shutoff Valve |
And speaking of HOME, if you want it to still be there when you get back, have us install an automatic gas shut-off valve and have your retrofit checked.
Be safe.
