What is the best option to be safe during an earthquake? In this episode of 'The Fault in the Facts', that question is discussed.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Alaskans are no strangers to earthquakes. They happen beneath us every day, whether we know it or not.to talk about the truth and history of mother nature and explain her natural hazards.A fault or a fact?
Alaska gets minor and major earthquakes. West said it’s best to drop, cover and hold for any size of quake. But in some cases, there won’t be something to get under, like at a grocery store. West said the key is for people to assess their environment and move quickly from things that look hazardous.“There’s no desk to jump under in a grocery store, but if I’m in the aisles where there are things stacked high around me, yeah, I’m going to get away from that,” he said. “Use your judgment. Use your intuition.
“It’s not a crazy idea to look around and say, ‘Huh? Where would I go in earthquake? Oh, I’m going to go there. Got it,’” West said. “And then I move on.”West said running outside during a quake could also be bad advice.
