The shaker in southern California was able to explain people why they need earthquake preparedness for both home and business.

Another shaker in southern California was exclusively for people who are still thinking whether or not to invest in earthquake preparedness. Probably this earthquake was successful enough to convince people living in the active earthquake zone that earthquake preparedness is absolutely a must for both business and home. The continuous effort to educate people about the importance of earthquake preparedness by Quake Hold Industrial has always been unique and worthwhile.

Borrego Springs was the latest spot to be rocked, this time by a 5.4 earthquake, which was felt as far away as Valencia, north of Los Angeles, out to LAX and all the way to the coast in San Diego.

USGS experts believe it was what’s known as a ‘triggered’ earthquake, a consequence of the Easter Sunday 7.2 quake in Mexicali, just over the California/Mexico border.

The Mexicali earthquake has caused an increase in activity along the San Jacinto and Elsinore fault lines, which are indirectly linked to the big daddy of them all the San Andreas Fault.

The point is any business located in the earthquake zone should take earthquake preparedness seriously before an earthquake jeopardizes the business.

What that entails is technically called non-structural seismic mitigation and what that actually means is securing top-heavy furniture, electronics, wall hangings and breakables around the home, as well as undertaking data center seismic mitigation, lab equipment fastening and warehouse seismic fastening at your place of business.

Quake HOLD! Industrial is now offering a free risk assessment session followed by appropriate planning to ensure security to the complete business.

Taking action before an earthquake hits is the best defense against potential damage or injury from a quake. Thus the expert earthquake preparedness team from Quake Hold Industrial is always at work innovating new ways to protect life and property.
