towithstand an earthquake.  \n# Did You Know?\n\nBetween 1975 and 1995,only four states did not havean earthquake:Florida,lowa,North Dakota,and Wisconsin.  \nIn just 30 seconds,a building can become a

ofliving in an area that has many earthquakes.  \n# Prepare Your Home\n\nAll families should have disaster kits in  \ntheir homes with basic survival supplies.Thesekits could be stored in the home or
