Rattle and Roll

Colorado had the largest earthquake in 40 years yesterday, the East Coast from Virginia up to Toronto, Canada just experienced a very shallow and very violent 5.9 just now. Cell phones and landlines in the DC area are not working.

If this happened right here, right now, would you be ready? The Pentagon and numerous other buildings are being evacuated. Do you know your evacuation plan at your workplace? Do you know the emergency plan at your children's school? If you were stuck at work for a day, do you have extra food and clothes?

Time to think about these things! Check our website for more preparedness information at www.co.cowlitz.wa.us/dem.
