Quakprep.

Most injuries during earthquakes come from non-structural hazards—objects inside the home.

Every October, millions participate in the Great ShakeOut. That’s great. But what happens at 2:00 AM?

Statistically, deadly quakes don't keep 9-to-5 hours.

Quakeprep’s Nighttime Audit:

You must customize your quakprep to your geology.

The Pacific Coast (CA, OR, WA): Tsunami risk after shaking. If you feel violent shaking for 20+ seconds and you are near the coast, do not wait for a warning. Walk to high ground immediately (100 feet elevation or 2 miles inland).

The Midwest (New Madrid Fault): Lower frequency, higher intensity potential. Soil here is older and transmits seismic waves farther. Expect liquifaction and building collapse in Memphis, St. Louis, and Evansville. Focus on strapping water heaters and bolting sill plates to foundations. quakprep.

Intermountain West (Utah, Idaho): The Wasatch Fault threatens Salt Lake City’s soft lakebed soils. Expect amplification of shaking. Quakprep here means heavy emphasis on drop-cover-hold because the shaking will be longer and more violent.

In an earthquake, you do not run. You do not stand in a doorway (a dangerous myth). You Drop, Cover, and Hold On.

Earthquakes can happen without warning. QuakPrep helps you reduce risk, protect your family, and recover faster. Follow this simple, practical plan to prepare your home, supplies, and routine.

Earthquake preparedness is a continuous process, not a one-time event. By implementing these QuakePrep measures—securing your home, assembling supplies, and practicing drills—you transform panic into action. The next tremor is inevitable; your readiness is a choice.
