 Hi, I'm Diana Ibrahim with Cal-O-E-S and April is Earthquake Preparedness Month. It's important to know all the facts so you can be prepared for the next big one. Hi Diana, so earthquakes can only happen in specific parts of California, right? No, actually earthquakes can happen anywhere. It's essential to recognize that no area is entirely immune to shaking. Head to myhazards.cal-o-e-s.ca.gov today to see how severely your home could be impacted. So, aren't earthquakes predictable? Unfortunately, scientists haven't quite developed the technology to predict earthquakes with pinpoint accuracy. The best we can do now is make sure your emergency alerts are turned on in your phone, or download the My Shake app to give you life-saving seconds before shaking starts. Doorways are the best place to be when an earthquake hits, actually, building experts have debunked this myth. We here at Cal-O-E-S proactively recommend to practice drop, cover, and hold on. No matter what, make a plan, sign up for alerts at earthquake.ca.gov because when shaking starts, seconds matter.
