If you were in an earthquake, the best thing to be prepared for it is to make an escape plan. Make a map of your home from the top view, and mark off any places where you could hide, like under a table, with a check. Mark an "x" on places where you should NOT go to in case of a big earthquake, like the closet or under a door. Also, draw lines from anywhere where you normally go to do work, eat dinner, etc. to a door in the house. Make the line avoid your x's and if possible have it go to check marks for safe points on the way outside. When you're done, post your map on a wall where you pass by all the time. if you live in an apartment, and you have to go through a hallway, make the line go through that way, too. Dont forget to draw the line till you get to the outside. Plus, try to memorize the way the line goes if you can't get to the map in the earthquake. Finally, always keep a first aid kit someplace where you can get it quickly and easily. I wouldn't put it in a closet, maybe somewhere next to the door would be good. Congratulations! You're now prepared and ready to go in an earthquake!
