Secure your heavy furniture to walls with flexible straps. Use earthquake putty or velcro fasteners for objects on tables, shelves, or other furniture. Install safety latches on cabinets to keep them closed. Homes and other buildings should be retrofitted if necessary. These and other actions will greatly reduce your risk of damage or injury, and limit your need for community resources after the next earthquake.
