Car and Driver Earthquake Preparedness

Last Monday evening I was home and walking up the stairs when the earthquake hit. It was just a few moments of shaking and fairly minor (5.2) but this has been happening often around the world.

I began thinking about what to do if I were out driving in a shake-down. It’s important to have resources to take care of yourself and whoever may be traveling with you.

You can hear my interview about earthquake preparedness and how to help yourself when driving in an earthquake:

Take care of yourself and you’ll be able to help others as well.
