Dear Friends of the LAFD,
The advice from experts to "Drop, Cover and Hold On" is indeed but a small part of the overall preparedness that all Americans must accomplish for what are often non-notice disasters.
To learn more about earthquake preparedness, we strongly encourage you to view and print LAFD's free 59-page "Emergency Preparedness Booklet".
Additional information to help you prepare for any variety of disasters can be found here.
Respectfully Yours in Safety and Service,
Brian Humphrey
