Hiya All... Now for something really useful - some advice on earthquake safety... Wishes & Dreams... - ANDREA xx ******* THE LOONY BIN **** loonies@bloodaxe.com ******* Archive: http://www.theloonies.co.uk/ *********** ANDROMEDA **** Internet Goddess *********** ------- Forwarded foolishness follows ------- Practice Earthquake Safety -------------------------- Earthquakes can strike without warning, and being prepared for such a disaster can mean the difference between life and death. Here are some tips to help you and your loved ones make it through a quake: ~ Those living in areas not prone to earthquakes can respond quickly to the plight of disaster victims in quake zones by complacently smirking and saying, "I told you so." ~ To minimize loss and damage in a quake, try not to own things. ~ Practice your burrowing-out-from-under-40-tons-of-rubble skills ahead of time. ~ Look out your window often. If you see a large, zig-zag-shaped crevasse moving rapidly from the horizon toward your home, step either to the right or the left. ~ For those who fear earthquakes, it may comfort you to know that a majority of the damage during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake did not come from the tremors themselves. Instead, it was from the raging, out- of-control fires that consumed most of the city. ~ A doorway is the safest place to be during a quake. Eat, sleep, and work in doorways. ~ Be sure to mail your house-insurance payments a full five business days before a major earthquake strikes. ~ In the event of a quake, get under something heavy, such as a desk, a table, or your boss. ~ If you are caught in a major earthquake in Southern California and are part of the entertainment industry, take a moment or two to reflect on how grossly you've wasted your life.
