HEY, I'M STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION HERE,  I CAN ONLY SPEND SO MUCH TIME
ON MY WEBSITE WHILE I'M OUT THERE SPILLING BLOOD AND GUTS.  SO WHILE
YOU ARE WAITING FOR ME TO GET CREATIVE, LET ME LEAVE YOU WITH JUST A
COUPLE MORE PICTURES AND SOME EARTHQUAKE TIPS.  THEN, LET ME THINK ON
THIS ONE FOR A WHILE.  MAYBE I WILL COME UP WITH A BRIGHT IDEA IN THE
MIDDLE OF AN EARTHQUAKE OR EXPLOSION!  THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE!
CONTACT US:
 
 
SIX IMPORTANT STEPS TO BE
PREPARED FOR AN EARTHQUAKE:

1.  Identify potential hazards in and
around your home and fix them!

2.  Create your own family disaster
plan. What happens if you are at home
and your children are at school and
neither of you can reach each other?  
What if you are stuck at work because
your building is unsafe to leave?  What
if you are out shopping in the mall and
part of the mall collapses and you can't
leave?  These are the REAL scenarios
that could very well happen here in
California if an earthquake hits.  
Develop your plan and put it in place.

3.  Build your disaster supply kit!  
Again, as yourself questions like, what
would I eat or drink if I am stuck on the
freeway overnight?  What would I do if I
am at work for several days and can't
get out of the building?  Do I have
enough in my desk to eat?  Drink?  
Share?  What would I do if someone
were seriously injured?  Do I have
enough First Aid supplies to help
out?These are realistic questions to
ask and then build your kit based upon
your individual needs.

4.  During Earthquakes and
Aftershocks, do you know what to do?  
Drop, Cover and Hold on!!!

5. After the shaking stops, check for
structural damage and any injuries that
need to be treated right away.  
Remember that EMS, Fire and Police
agencies will probably be busy, so you
may be on your own for a few days.  

6.  When it is safe to do so, then follow
your disaster plan.

On Saturday, November 15,
2008,the State of California was
once again burdened with HUGE
Fire Storms in many, many
communities.  These fires were
some of the most devistating in
more than 40 years. People have
lost everything that they own: their
homes, their clothes, their cars,
their valuables and much, much
more.  Many neighborhoods were
completely wiped out.  These
people need our help.  Won't you
please join with us here at Burke's
Disaster Services in giving
something back to these people
and the communities.  Thank you!
