Did you feel the 5.1M earthquake last Friday? Did you drop, cover and hold on? If you feel the ground to start to shake or you get an early warning alert, remember to DROP, COVER and HOLD ON.

Ask yourself these questions:

· How prepared are you for an earthquake?

· Do you have a Grab 'n Go bag?

· What are your plans for reuniting with your family?

· What if you didn’t have electricity or water for 3 days to 2 weeks?

· What if you had to leave your home on short notice?

· What if you needed to contact your family and get official information during an emergency?

· Did you look at your areas where you live and work, identifying potential vulnerabilities that may need to be strengthened?
