An earthquake of 3.4 magnitude hit the Central Coast on Friday morning.
Prepare… According to Monterey County Emergency Services, there have only been 429 earthquakes in our area that are above 4.0 magnitude. But officials and experts say it is only a matter of time until the next major event. To prepare now, you can sign up with alerts from your county’s emergency services by visiting the county website. You can also download this app named MyShake. If an earthquake above magnitude 4.5 hits California, you can receive an alert within seconds of it being felt in your area. It depends on how close you are to the epicenter. It will remind you what to do and it will allow you to share and see what damage is happening around you. It is important to download some type of warning system now, especially for those of us who live near the coast. <उन लोगों के लिए जो निचले इलाकों में रहते हैं, बोर्डवॉक के आसपास समुद्र तट के फ्लैट और सांताक्रूज शहर के कुछ निचले इलाकों में, रियो डेल मार्च में कैपिटोला के निचले इलाकों में और उसके आसपास, हम यह सुनिश्चित करना चाहते हैं कि वे लोग जागरूक हों यदि उन्हें उस बड़े भूकंप का एहसास होता है, तो यह सुनिश्चित करने के अलावा कि वे सुरक्षित हैं, वे कुछ समय के लिए ऊंचे स्थान पर चले जाना चाहते हैं।> I spoke with the Santa Cruz County Office of Emergency Services, and they have done so. Four reminders: First – Prepare your living space. Try to avoid placing bookshelves and large furniture near entryways that could fall and become blocked during an earthquake. Second thing – like any natural disaster: Have a plan. When an earthquake occurs, utilities like your water and sewer systems may not work. Third – make sure you have a go bag ready with food, water, cash… and the last one: Keep all your necessary identification and health documents in one place so you can just grab it and go. The largest earthquake to hit our forests was the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989. that clock
