Would you be safe in your home?

 

What could you do to prevent this?

What if it happens here?  Washington is earthquake country, and according to the USGS, we are fifth on the list of states with the most earthquakes. The latest significant earthquake occurred in February 2001. The magnitude 6.8 Nisqually earthquake shook the Puget Sound area causing extensive damage.

February marks the anniversary of the Nisqually earthquake. This earthquake and the recent events in Haiti, serve as important reminders of our region's vulnerability to earthquakes and our need to prepare.

Would you be safe at home?  View a video that shows the impact that a 6.7 magnitude earthquake could have on a home that has not been properly prepared. This type of damage is preventable. Learn the simple steps you can take.
