It’s time to practice your
“Duck, Cover and Hold On” as
part of the annual Great
ShakeOut! This annual earth-
quake preparedness drill began
in California in November
2008. It was the largest earth-
quake drill in U.S. history up
until that time, and involved
5.3 million participants.
The Great ShakeOut gained
great acclaim and is now held
across the country and around
the world each year on the third
Thursday of October. In 2015,
approximately 600,000 people
in Oregon participated.
This year’s Great ShakeOut
will take place at 10:20 a.m. on
Oct. 20. Register to participate
at www.shakeout.org/oregon.
Great ShakeOut participants
include individuals, families,
schools, churches, businesses
and other groups who take a
few minutes to “Drop, Cover
and Hold On,” which aims to
keep people safe in the event of
an earthquake.
• DROP — Get on ground
since the shaking will make it
difficult to walk and keep mov-
ing objects from hitting/hurting
you.
• COVER — Get under
cover of a sturdy table or desk
and use one arm to cover your
head to keep falling materials
from hitting/hurting you.
• HOLD ON to a table leg to
Insurance Benefits Assistance

als.

Presents:
keep the cover object from
moving away from you and to
steady yourself.
“Earthquakes may happen
anywhere you live, work or
travel,” said Althea Rizzo, geo-
logic hazards program coordi-
nator for Oregon’s Office of
Emergency Management. “It’s
important to practice ‘Drop,
Cover and Hold On’ often so
that you can respond quickly
when an earthquake occurs.
“You may only have seconds
to protect yourself before
strong shaking knocks you
down or something falls on
you.”
Oregon’s Office of Emer-
gency Management is launch-
ing its “2 Weeks Ready” cam-
paign, which recommends hav-
ing enough food, water and
other supplies to keep you and
your family self-sufficient for
two weeks.
This lessens the strain on
emergency responders who
need to focus limited resources
on injured and other vulnerable
populations immediately fol-
lowing a disaster.
“For many years, we talked
about the importance of being
prepared for 72 hours,” said
Rizzo. “This is a good start,
and helpful in the event of
short-term power outages or
temporary evacuation. But a
large earthquake and tsunami
will leave much of the
area’s transportation routes
destroyed.
“Oregonians will have to
count on each other in the com-
munity, in the workplace and at
home in order to be safe until
responders can reach them.”
Being prepared to be self-
sufficient for two weeks is an
achievable goal. Many of the
standard preparedness kit
items such as flashlights,
gloves, hand-crank radios,
trash bags and a first-aid kit are
already included in a 72-hour
kit.
Food and water are priori-
ties. Plan for one gallon of
water per person/pet per day. If
you are a family of three, four
or more members, that’s a lot
of water. You need to think
about how to store it, where to
put it, and making sure it’s
accessible when you need it.
Consider large (5-gallon or
more) containers, supplement-
ed with smaller containers and
what you have stored in ice
cube trays and your water
heater. Collapsible water con-
tainers and water purifiers are
also an option; there are many
varieties on the market.
Food is the other significant
component when increasing
your preparedness kit from 72
hours to two weeks. You might
not be eating three meals each
day but even at two meals per
day, a family of four will need
to have food to cover more
than 100 meals over two
weeks.
Your refrigerator contains
many items that can sustain
you and your family for sever-
al days. Then supplement or
turn to items in your kit such as
grains, beans, canned tuna and
bulk nuts to provide protein
and calories.
Be sure to consider dried
fruit, canned fruits and vegeta-
bles and other items that are
easily stored over long periods
of time. A weekly calendar of
ways to become 2 Weeks
Ready will be updated regular-
ly at www.facebook.com/2
WeeksReady.
Think about it.
Talk about it.
Being prepared is not just
having two weeks of food and
water, but thinking about the
many things you already do to
make you better able to bounce
back after a disaster.
• Have a home evacuation
plan and practice it with your
family. Be familiar with evacu-
ation routes out of work,
school or other buildings you
frequent.
• Do you have backup trans-
portation methods and routes?
• Who will care for the kids,
grandparents and pets if you
are unable to get home for sev-
eral hours?
• Where will you meet your
family? At school, at the local
park, at the corner of the
neighborhood?
• Do you have an out of state
contact? Have a conversation
with your family and friends
and have one person designat-
ed to be the main contact for
your group.
• Know when how and when
to shut off utilities, and basic
elements of first aid and CPR.
