Description publique originale du livre
anglais
Earthquake Survival in California is a 120-step visual preparedness, protective-action, and early-recovery system built specifically for California residents and visitors. It begins with earthquake science and local risk literacy—faults, shaking, ground failure, liquefaction, landslides, tsunami, buildings, and the correct use of hazard maps—while repeatedly separating hazard from a prediction of damage at a specific address. California geography, housing, coasts, freeways, Bay Area and Southern California contexts are used only when they change the decision, so the book remains a practical safety guide rather than a collection of landmarks or generic disaster posters.
The preparation sections move room by room and household by household. Readers learn how to reduce nonstructural hazards, distinguish what can be secured personally from what requires qualified structural assessment, protect important documents, build a home inventory, understand the general earthquake-insurance coverage gap, prepare a portable go-bag and stay-at-home supplies, plan water and food, maintain medications and medical devices, organize sanitation, prepare for power outages, and build family and accessibility-aware plans. Current California warning channels—including MyShake, Android Earthquake Alerts, Wireless Emergency Alerts, and the broader ShakeAlert ecosystem—are placed inside the larger rule that a warning is a cue for protective action, not a prediction tool.
The action and recovery sections cover Drop, Cover, and Hold On; bedrooms, high-rises, schools, workplaces, stores, outdoor spaces, freeways and other transportation contexts; coastal tsunami natural warnings; aftershocks; injury and household checks; fire, gas and electrical hazards; evacuation; communications; first…
