Although the West Coast generally has the greatest earthquake activity, the potential for earthquakes exists in almost every corner of the United States. More than 3,360 Americans have died during earthquakes in the last century, and homes in all 50 states have suffered damage in the last 250 years.1 So, what can you do to protect yourself, your home and its contents from earthquakes? This brochure will help you by providing information about:
• the relationship between your home and an earthquake; • key areas of your home that are especially susceptible to damage; • ways you can reduce damage to your home and belongings; and, • what you can do to protect yourself and your family.
