Recent devastating earthquakes around the globe have focused attention on the increasing risk of a large, catastrophic earthquake hitting Southern California .

These simple steps can save your life in the event of a major earthquake. To ensure you know what to do, it's vital that you practice. If you don't, it's likely that impulse will rule the day, and you'll be running for the exits, with bits of building falling all around.
Don't be a statistic. Stay where you are, drop to the ground (hopefully under a table, chair, or other protective object), and hold on to whatever object is protecting you. If you aren't near something you can get under, try to get "next" to something, such as your bed.
