Personal Emergency Preparedness Workshop

Last night, ha's school sponsored a Personal Emergency Preparedness Workshop, and all 4 of us went.

After the workshop, I thought that there are some things that I need to learn or to prepare which I have not done so:

1. Learn to turn off the gas
2. Change or refill the fire extinguisher (ours are expired long time ago)
3. Post a First-Aid poster on the fridge (in order to learn the first aid and get immediate help
4. Visit the nearest reporting location where has shed for food and water. http://www.cupertino.org/downloads/Pdf/emerg_reporting_location_map.pdf There are 2 locations closed to us, so we can go either way.
5. Remember not to flush the toilet after quake until being told ok to do so.
6. make copies of kids' birth certificate and our citizenship certificate
7. Get a whistle
8. local radio AM 1670 or AM 1590
9. Child-proof the upper cabinates in the kitchen, so items won't fall during the quake.
10. Record the local emergency number to the cell.

There are a lot of material that I haven't had time to read, but I hope that I can read them in the near future.
