Tape transcript:
If you live in an earthquake zone, you should take some time
to look around your house. Place heavy books on the bottom
shelf of your bookshelf. Block the rollers on your fridge and
washing machine to prevent them from moving. Put hanging
potted plants in plastic containers. Check the mirrors in your
bathroom and bedroom. Make sure they can’t move. Don’t put
your bed next to window. Planning where you are going to be
during an earthquake is very important. The first thing to
remember is to stay inside. Then you should sit under a strong
table or doorway, or stand in the corner of the room.
