How to Prepare Your Home for an Earthquake in 1989


Somethings you can do to prevent your microwave from flying across the room and hurting someone, is to velcro it to the counter. If you are worried about your cans falling off the shelves you can string a wire across the top of the counter stopping the cans from falling off. Another thing you can do is to bolt your stereo to the wall. This has an added bonus of making it almost impossible to steal! You can use the same trick with the books on your shelves as you did with your cans. For your computer, you can use a velcro leash to leash it to the desk and keep it from falling and hurting someone. In the case of an earthquake you need to shut off you gas, you should keep a wrench attached to your gas line to turn it off in the case of an earthquake. You just need to turn it a quarter turn and it turns off, preventing fires. Those are all things you can do to help your home in an earthquake in 1989.
