During an earthquake, you may hear a roaring or rumbling sound that gradually gets louder
you may also feel a rolling sensation that starts out gently and, within a second or two, grows violent.
During an earthquake, most deaths and injuries are caused by collapsing building materials and heavy falling objects, such as bookcases, cabinets, and heating units.
By planning and practicing what to do if an earthquake strikes, you and your loved ones can learn to react correctly and automatically when the shaking begins.
If an earthquake happens, you and your loved ones may need to evacuate a damaged area afterward. By planning and practicing for evacuation
you will be better prepared to respond appropriately and efficiently to signs of danger or to directions by civil authorities.
 Stock up on emergency supplies that can be used after an earthquake. These supplies should include a first aid kit
and emergency supply kits for the home and automobile, including emergency water and food.
Remember: anything can move, fall, or break during an earthquake or its aftershocks.
Make sure to inspect your home and its surrounding for any possible hazards and secure them if you can
If your house is of conventional wood construction, it will probably be relatively resistant to earthquake damage, particularly if it is a single-story structure.
