Yards Learn Lessons In Aftermath

Things are slowly gering back to nomral at yards in the immediate vicinity of the 6.7 magnitude Northridge, Ca., earthquake, but the community as well as industry is learning how to become htter prepared for future disasters.

B.B. Do-it Center, Camarillo, Ca., located about 35 miles ftom the epicento of the Jan. 17 quake, did not experience the extensive damage others faced (see The Merclant, Feb. p. 22); however, the store did experience floods of customers searching for emergency supplies.

Yet without power, the store was left lirrally "in the dark" about how many supplies they acnn[y ne€ded. "We had no idea what to order," said store manager Barbara Saincome. "We learned you have to be prepared. You have to have a plan."

B.B. Doit Center now has earthquake emergency procedures and a special emergency order list and procedures.

Dealers also found disasters are a key time to build community relations. Extra-special service at California Do-it Center and Anawalt Lumber Co. resulted in gracious letters to the local newspaper, sparking a column voicing the overall appreciation of the corrmunity.

At Anawalt Lumber, the writer - without cash or checkbook - had been allowed to sign for plywood and 2x4s. "No way would Home Depot let you walk out on the strength of your signatule," said one clerk.

By the first weekend, Home Depot stores were already offering Saturday morning classes on earthquake preparedness and emergency home repairs, including water heater ilsrellxfien, roof patching and basic plumbing.

Upon learning of the quake, the American Forest & Paper Association disparched a damage investigation team
