My Earthquake / Disaster Plan

My disaster plan. So that I can focus on things I can change, and help as many people as possible.Updated 8 months ago

I think its smart to plan my disaster plan. So that I can focus on things I can change, and help as many people as possible.

Most of this only comes into effect after a serious earthquake (Loss of Power, Collapsed Buildings, Injuries.)

Emergency Alerts:

Priorities:

Immediate Priorities

  • Locate + Secure Bosco
  • Text 1-650-924-1975, Mom, Darlana, with #ImOK or #NeedHelp
  • Post to Facebook saying I am OK, and where I going next.

Secondary:

  • Fill All Bathtubs and Containers, Then Turn off Water (for firefighters)
  • Check on Sharon's Daycare for any major damage / injuries.
  • Go down to the Saanich fire+police station, and offer to help in any way possible.

Finally:

  • Donate Blood.
  • Volunteer with Search and Rescue.
  • Collect Stray Animals.
  • Purchase Gas
  • Check Foundation, siding, and roof for repairs

Prep:

I ask that my Family + Friends:

  • DO NOT call ANYONE unless it for emergency services!!
  • Send TXT messages, as they are MUCH more reliable on over-burdened cellular networks
  • Post your location, needs, and condition to Facebook. Txt me if help is required.
  • Think of & Help Others.
  • Stay Calm.

Ritcher Scale 101

The Ritcher scale, used to measure Earthquakes is LOGARITHMIC scale.
A 6 is TEN times worse then a 5)
A 7 is TEN times worse then a 6)
etc.
Anything under 3.0 is a "Micro" Quake/Tremor.
