Natural disasters such as earthquakes have a way of making us feel helpless. With over forty-five states and territories under the jurisdiction of the federal government at a moderate to high risk of earthquakes, most of us should know what we can do to prepare for and survive an earthquake. Military OneSource provides information to assist service and family members with preventing or minimizing injuries or damage to yourself, your loved ones, or your home during an earthquake. From holding family earthquake drills to identifying “safe spots” and stockpiling the usual emergency supplies, just taking steps to prepare can help leave you feeling less at risk and more in control at the prospect of an earthquake incident. As with any natural disaster, you can’t prevent an earthquake, but Military OneSource can help you prepare for one.

For those military families living on or near the coastline of the United States or elsewhere in the world, being near a beach or an ocean can make for a great lifestyle. But it also makes residents potentially vulnerable to a tsunami strike. Tsunamis can hit with little or no advance warning, so it’s that much more important to have a plan in place. That’s where Military OneSource comes in. With plenty of practical advice and helpful links at your fingertips, Military OneSource can provide important information on how to evacuate at night or during inclement weather, what things to take with you, how far inland you need to go to get out of the tsunami’s path, and other great lifesaving tips.
