Stories From The California ShakeOut

Ruth Thomley

I will stay away from windows, and hide under the kitchen table. When shaking stops,I will proceed outside if necessary. I live in a two story building and need to make sure that the building won't collapse. If it's OK, try to find news about what to do next. If the damage is severe, wait for emergency personnel away from danger at the park across the street. Use my emergency kit to treat wounds etc.
