OT Earthquake help :)
In light of the most recent Los Angeles earthquake, they can strike
without warning, and being prepared for such a disaster can mean the
difference between life and death. Here are some tips to help you and
your loved ones make it through a quake:
- Those living in areas not prone to earthquakes can respond quickly to
the plight of disaster victims in quake zones by complacently smirking
and saying, "I told you so."
- To minimize loss and damage in a quake, try not to own things.
- Experiencing an earthquake is terrifying, but a majority of people
caught in one do survive. During the tremors, try to resist the
temptation to have sex with houseplants.
- Practice your burrowing-out-from-under-40-tons-of-rubble skills ahead
of time.
- Look out your window often. If you see a large, zig-zag-shaped
crevasse moving rapidly from the horizon toward your home, step either
to the right or the left.
- Do you have a treasured childhood toy? Perhaps a stuffed animal, such
as a teddy bear? Well, let's see Mr. Bear help you now.
- For those who fear earthquakes, it may comfort you to know that a
majority of the damage during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake did not
come from the tremors themselves. Instead, it was from the raging,
out-of-control fires that consumed most of the city.
- A doorway is the safest place to be during a quake. Eat, sleep and
work in doorways.
- Be sure to mail your house insurance payments a full five business
days before a major earthquake strikes.
- In the event of a quake, get under something heavy, such as a desk, a
table or your uncle.
- If you are caught in a major earthquake in Southern California and are
part of the entertainment industry, take a moment or two to reflect on
how grossly you've wasted your life.
