Warning: strtotime(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected the timezone 'UTC' for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone. in /home/wereadyo/public_html/earthquake/libraries/joomla/utilities/date.php on line 56

The message to the public on Drop, Cover and Hold on is reinforced in all Earthquake Readiness Public Service Announcements (see Audio and Visual Page).

Messages to the Public:
Drop, Cover and Hold on

At the first sign of the earth shaking, if you are in a building, stay inside and away from windows. Drop, cover, and hold on. DROP under a heavy desk or table, COVER your head and torso, and HOLD ON to the furniture. If you can't get under something strong, go to an interior wall and sit with your bottom and feet flat on the floor and protect your head. If you are outside, go to an open area.
