What If You’re Driving When the Quake Hits ?

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.

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.
