Did you feel it? A 4.0-magnitude earthquake was reported out of Lennox early this morning.
Although no damage was reported here in the Santa Clarita Valley, are you prepared for the next big quake?
Be sure to have an emergency plan ready ahead of time, with designated safe spots of where to meet after the shaking has stopped. Prepare a supply kit that includes enough food and water that will last for several days, as well as a flashlight, batteries, and medical supplies. Secure heavy items in your home.
During an earthquake be sure to Drop, Cover, and Hold On. Earthquakes can be unpredictable, so take the time to play it safe and be prepared. For more information about preparedness, visit the below links for helpful tips:
