FSM 338: Earthquake Preparedness: Use Research-Based Resources

Transcript [music] From Washington State University Extension, welcome to Food Safety in a Minute. Preparing for an earthquake starts with learning, planning, and creating a plan for your family. This week, we’re highlighting two key resources. The first is “Two Weeks Ready” from the Washington Emergency Management Division. Available online, it covers public safety locations, alternate driving routes from work, steps to take during and after an earthquake, and essential supplies like extra batteries, food, and water. It also encourages learning about emergency plans at work and school. Oregon State University Extension Service also offers an online guide for Family Emergency Preparedness. It includes guidance on earthquake readiness, building emergency kits, sanitation, waste management, and food and water storage. Check the episode transcript for both resource links. Preparation for earthquakes is important. Thanks for listening, I’m Susie Craig. [music] Resources Emergency Management Division – Washington.
