Quake Tip of the Week
Do You Know Your Elderly Neighbors?
Developing an emergency after-quake plan with your neighbors is a great idea, and we’ll talk about it in a later QuakeTip. With our elderly neighbors, we especially want to know who:
1. is mobility impaired
2. cannot operate their gas shut-off if necessary
3. has an emergency supply kit
4. has relatives/friends they can go to if necessary
After the coming serious quake, we will feel so much better if we have this information before hand, plus we may be able to help someone who will truly be helpless without us.
