7 Things You MUST Do To SURVIVE an Earthquake

On Friday, October 9, a magnitude 7.7 earthquake hit Panama. Roads and bridges cracked, some houses came down, the town of Tonosí was cut off by road, and a magnitude 6 aftershock hit late that night. Closer to home, the U.S. Geological Survey's latest map says nearly three quarters of this country could feel damaging shaking in the next century. Harlan walks through the 7 things you must do to survive an earthquake. Drop, Cover and Hold On, what to do with a walker, a wheelchair or a cane, why you stay in bed with the pillow over your head, the doorway myth, the first minutes after the shaking stops, and the small bag every older adult should tie to the bed tonight. The Great ShakeOut drill is Thursday, October 15. Practice it at home. #EarthquakePreparedness #Prepping #SeniorSafety
