The Big One? How to Become Earthquake Safe in Your Home
​The BIG ONE? Will your piano rock? Your refrigerator roll? 
Many items we consider stable become a threat with undulation and impact earth tremors. Your cozy winter, in-house attention can generate great results for early preparation. Our goal for this meeting is to help you and your family think through what might happen in the event of a large earthquake, and how you can prepare and practice ahead of time to protect yourself and your loved ones. You will learn--in a fun, interactive format--the steps for becoming earthquake safe within your home.
