If you’re living anywhere in the Bay Area, you must be prepared for an earthquake - if not for yourself, then for your family, friends, and neighbors. A few key resources to get you started:

Earthquake Preparedness [USGS]: “Although earthquakes cannot be prevented, effective measures can be taken to reduce loss of life and damage to property that they cause.”

Make Your Own Preparedness Kit [SFGate]: “SF Gate has compiled a list of supplies the American Red Cross recommends you keep on hand.”

Neighborhood Emergency Response Team Training (NERT) [SFGov]: “Since 1990 the NERT program has trained more than 11,000 San Francisco residents to be self sufficient in a major disaster. Through this program, individuals will also learn hands-on disaster skills that will help them as members of an emergency response team.”

Earthquake Maps and Information [ABAG]: “ABAG, the Association of Bay Area Governments, is the regional planning and services agency for the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area.”
