Drop, Cover, and Hold On

 Drop Cover Hold On

Drop, Cover, and Hold On!

Remember those words. One of the areas with the biggest misconception base is what to do when an earthquake strikes.

People want to stand in doorways. Bad. The door can swing into you or crush your fingers.

People want ot run outside. No so good. Falling debris will injure or kill you. 

People want to jump under the closest table. Good! That's a great place to hang out during an earthquake, but remember to hang on. 

If you're really intersted in your personal safety, you'll want to spend a bit of time testing your knowledge regarding taking action during the earthquake. We suggest a great place to do that: DropCoverHoldOn.Org

In addition to the various land, sea, and air resources that are available, California Task Force One (CA-TF-1), managed for FEMA by the Los Angeles Fire Department, has several rescue dogs on its roster.

They pay for all of their food, transport, and training out of their own pockets, so it is truely a labor of love. Let's see what these dogs do, and learn how they can help save YOU in the event of an earthquake or other disaster. Click Here.
