About

The text provides information on earthquake safety for parents and childcare providers. It describes important actions to take before, during, and after an earthquake to ensure the safety of children. The text includes links to resources in English, Chinese Simplified, and Spanish for further guidance. These resources help caregivers prepare emergency plans, secure furniture and heavy items that could fall during a quake, practice drills with children so they know what to do when shaking starts, and check buildings for damage afterward. The goal is to keep everyone safe by being prepared ahead of time.
