Earthquake? NOW WHAT?
Earthquake? NOW WHAT?™ — Your Decision Companion
An earthquake can turn a familiar space into a confusing one in seconds. The shaking may stop quickly, but the decisions that come next can feel overwhelming.
Earthquake? NOW WHAT?™ is a calm, practical digital guide designed to help you protect yourself during the shaking, recognize immediate hazards afterward, prepare for aftershocks, and make your next good decision without having to sort through pages of information in the moment.
Inside, you’ll find simple, memorable tools such as DROP → COVER → HOLD ON, the 60-Second Reset, The First Five Decisions, The Barefoot Problem, and LOOK UP → LOOK DOWN → SMELL → LISTEN to help you move from panic to practical action.
The guide also covers what to do indoors, outdoors, in a vehicle, or in a high-rise; when it may be safer to stay or leave; gas and fire hazards; coastal tsunami considerations; what to do if trapped; and how to prepare your household before an earthquake happens.
Your purchase includes the Full Decision Companion, Phone-Friendly Edition, Quick Reference, Fridge Card, Start Here guide, and Household Earthquake Readiness Plan.
Preparedness is not predicting the earthquake. It is removing decisions from the moment when the ground is already moving.
