ATTENTION ALASKAN RESIDENTS

At 8:29 AM today, November 30th, we were hit with a very intense earthquake. Over two hours later, we are still experiencing after shocks.

I’m going to cover a few things that should help.

• When you have power, fill up as many containers with water as possible. If it goes out again, you won’t be able to access water. Fill bathtubs, buckets, etc.

• First Responders are trying their best to help you if you need it. There are roads collapsed and some buildings need more attention first to assure their safety.

• Drive carefully and notice your surroundings. If the stoplights are out, treat every intersection as if it’s a four way stop.

• Be wary of glass. Walk with shoes on until you’re sure you’ve cleaned it all up or at least made it safe to walk in.

• Keep your refrigerator and freezers closed as much as possible until the power comes back on.

• Do checks for your gas lines to make sure hey haven’t been damaged.

It’s a scary experience and it’s reasonable to be scared, but don’t panic!

If anyone has any resources and tips, please feel free to add!
