Resolve to be Ready for Natural Disasters

January is the national awareness campaign Resolve to be Ready! Resolve to be Ready is a nationwide effort encouraging everyone to be ready for natural disasters. Disasters like earthquakes can occur at any time with little warning. California residents are encouraged to take part in this campaign by creating an emergency plan and downloading free resources such as the MyShake App. Earthquakes are not a matter of if but when. For Californians, that “when” could be at any moment. Whether individuals reside, go to school, or work in an area prone to earthquakes, it is essential to have an emergency plan in place to help mitigate and reduce the risk of injuries and recover quickly following an earthquake. A thoughtful preparedness plan can help reduce the number of injuries and deaths during an earthquake and lead to a quick recovery. Visit www.earthquake.ca.gov for more information.
