Book Review: Earthquake prepared
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an extremely helpful and important book for all those (like me) who live on a fault zone. The book begins by explaining how earthquakes are measured. In the second part it shows how to secure your home, the materials you will need, like special screws for every item, bolts, latches, window film and so forth. It also explains what you need to know about the walls and the structure of the house. The author shows how to secure every single furniture in the house, from bookcases and their contents to crystal, ceramics, pictures and hanging artwork, to cabinet doors; how to attach computers, televisions, microwaves etc. Further on, it shows you how to prevent structural damage to your home and gives the cost as well. How to prepare the emergency supplies and gives family safety plans (special instructions for children). How should you be prepared if you are living in a mobile home or apartment, preparedness for the disabled, everything, in every detail is listed in this practical book, and it also gives information about earthquake insurance. The second part of the book shows you what you should do during an earthquake, if you are indoors, outdoors, in a high-rise building etc. What you should do when the shaking stops, from wearing heavy-duty shoes and long-sleeved clothes, to checking the house for damages. Whoever lives on a fault zone MUST buy this book now! and follow the instructions (which are easy to do) because unlike tornadoes and floods, you never know when an earthquake might strike nor the magnitude and the damage it will cause. I got this book after an earthquake we had measuring 7.4R killing over 30,000 people, and I am glad I did. Now I feel more secure; it is better to be prepared than do nothing, thinking whatever will be will be.
