n light of the recent earthquakes that have struck Southern California, as well as other places around the world, it is important to be prepared for any earthquakes to come. We should not take this fact lightly, you never know when the next big one may hit. Here are some things you can do to prepare; before, during, and after a quake.

E A R T H Q

U

Before:

•

Store breakable items such as bottled foods, glass, and china in low, closed cabinets with latches.

•

Fasten heavy items such as pictures and

mirrors securely to walls and away from beds, couches or anywhere people may sit.

•

Brace overhead light fixtures and top-heavy objects.

•

Locate safe spots in each room under a sturdy table or against an inside wall.

During: •

DROP to the ground; take COVER by getting under a sturdy table or other piece of furniture; and HOLD ON until the shaking stops. If there is not a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch in an inside corner of the building.

•

Stay away from glass, windows, outside doors and walls, and anything that could fall, such as lighting fixtures or furniture.

•

Stay in bed if you are there when the earthquake strikes. Hold on and protect your head with a pillow, unless you are under a heavy light fixture that could

fall. In that case, move to the nearest safe place.

•

outside. Do not exit a building during the shaking.

After: •

When the shaking stops, look around to make sure it is safe to move. Then exit the building.

•

Expect aftershocks. These secondary shockwaves are usually less violent than the main quake but can be strong enough to do additional damage to weakened structures and can occur in the first hours, days, weeks, or even months after the quake.

•

Help injured or trapped persons. Remember to help your neighbors who may require special assistance such as infants, the elderly and people with access and functional needs

•

Listen to a battery-operated radio or television for the latest emergency information.

•

!

Republished from: ready.gov/earthquakes

Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go

•

Use the telephone only for emergency calls.

Go to a designated public shelter if your home had been damaged and is no longer safe. Text SHELTER + your ZIP code to 43362 (4FEMA) to find the nearest shelter in your area (example: shelter 12345).

•

Be careful when driving after an earthquake and anticipate traffic light outages.

•

Put on long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, sturdy shoes and work gloves to protect against injury from broken objects.

A Trip to the Big Apple: Pro Musica Tour 2014 As Pro Musica stepped off the plane into the cold New York air, they knew this was going to be an event to remember.

In the early morning of April 16,

2014, members of Pro Musica, the elite high school choir at Loma Linda Academy (LLA), packed their bags.

All of them were overflowing with excitement for the upcoming tour.

Their destination was the bustling metropolis of New York, New York.

After the five-and-a-half hour flight, Pro Musica landed in Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark, New Jersey. The choir actually stayed in Newark, which is about 10 miles away from Manhattan. This was the first time Pro Musica has set foot in New York. When asked why he chose the destination Jeremy Morada, director, said, “I wanted to go somewhere both domestic and exciting, so I chose New York.

There’s so much to do there that it seemed like a no-brainer.”

Water You Waiting For? Tips For Saving Water!

California is in the middle of its biggest drought in years. It is important for us to save as much water as we can. Here are some helpful tips on how you can do that.

• Use the washing machine with full loads to save both water and energy.

• Install a water-efficient clothes washer. Saves: 16 gallons/load • Washing dark clothes in cold water saves water and energy, and helps your clothes retain their color.

•

• Cook food with little water as possible. This also helps it retain more nutrients.

• Select the proper pan size for cooking. Large pans may require more cooking water than necessary.

• Take five minute showers instead of 10 minute showers.

• Turn water off when brushing teeth or shaving. Saves: Approximately 10 gallons/day • Turn off the water while washing your hair and save up to 150 gallons a month.

• Plug the sink instead of running the water to rinse your razor and save up to 300 gallons a month.
