While current technology does not allow for us to actually prevent earthquakes from happening, we do have the tools to understand how to prepare for an earthquake. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the United States Geological Survey offer a number of useful tips, tricks and plans. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMEET THE AUTHOR \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Hyperink Team works hard to bring you high-quality, engaging, fun content.

If a table is not nearby, then curl up in a corner and cover your head with your arms. When you start to feel the earthquake, move away from windows and light fixtures – anything that could break, fall, or injure you when the ground begins to shake. If you are in bed, stay there during the earthquake. As long as there are no nearby windows, heavy lights above or hangings on the wall, it could be the safest place to stay during the earthquake. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly use a doorway as your earthquake go-to place if you know the foundation is sturdy. Never use an elevator. Keep in mind that during an earthquake the electricity may go out, and your building or home fire sprinklers might turn on. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOutdoor Earthquake Emergency Action\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you're outside in the event of an earthquake, do not go inside. Run away from any nearby buildings, streetlights, utility wires, or any large object or structure that could potentially fall on you. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVehicle Earthquake Emergency Action\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStop your vehicle as soon as safely as you can, making sure not to park your car near any trees, streetlights or buildings that could damage you and\/or your vehicle. When driving after the earthquake has stopped, avoid bridges or roads that have been severely damaged. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuy a copy to keep reading!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER OUTLINE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow To Be Prepared For An Earthquake\u003cbr\u003e  + Introduction\u003cbr\u003e  + What To Do Before An Earthquake\u003cbr\u003e  + What To Do During An Earthquake\u003cbr\u003e  + Once the Earthquake Has Passed\u003cbr\u003e  + ...and much more","brand":"Hyperink","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070578999536,"sku":"2940014049986","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014049986_p0.jpg?v=1763599602","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014049986","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
