Kern County OES Earthquake Preparation


Earthquakes strike without warning. If you feel an earthquake, drop to your hands and knees. If you're inside, take cover under a sturdy piece of furniture and remember to protect your head and neck and hold on as the shaking continues. If you can, stay away from windows, the glass may shatter. If you're outdoors, move to an open area, away from buildings, bridges and power lines. If you're driving, stop in a safe area and remain inside your vehicle. Don’t wait, be ready today.
