Survive the danger zone

...Have fun with the kit and keep it readily accessible, Lee said.

It may take up to a day to assemble, but it will prove beneficial following a disaster.

“No matter what disaster we have, the more you’re prepared, the more likely you’ll get through it and help others get through it,” she said.

In recognition of “Drop, Cover and Hold” day, city officials participated in an earthquake drill Tuesday.

An air horn was blown to signify the start of an earthquake.

Employees practiced finding cover and remained in one place until the air horn was blown again.

Hikes usually recommend binocul...
