Fire

Recovering from a fire can be a physically and mentally draining process.

When fire strikes, lives are suddenly turned around. Often, the hardest part is knowing where to begin and who to contact.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) United States Fire Administration (USFA) has gathered the following information to assist you in this time of need. Action on some of the suggestions will need to be taken immediately. Some actions may be needed in the future while others will be on-going. The purpose of this information is to assist you as you begin rebuilding your life.

Earthquake

Quick Tips During an Earthquake:

• Drop, cover, and hold on when the ground starts shaking.
• If you are inside, drop to the ground, take cover under a sturdy table or other piece of furniture, and hold on until the shaking stops.
• If a sturdy table or desk is not available, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch in an inside corner of the room.
• Stay away from glass, windows, outside doors and walls, and anything that could fall on you, such as lighting fixtures or furniture.
• Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Do not exit a building during shaking.
• If you are outdoors, move away from buildings, streetlights, and utility wires.
• If you are in a moving vehicle, stop as quickly as safety permits and stay inside the vehicle. Avoid stopping near or under buildings, trees, overpasses, and utility wires.
• Once the shaking stops, proceed with caution; avoid roads, overpasses, bridges, or ramps until you know they are safe.
