6.5 Earthquake Hits Humboldt County

At about 4:30 pm on Saturday, January 9th, Humboldt County got hit with the biggest earthquake we've had in over a decade.

This is a REMINDER. A WAKE UP CALL for all of Humboldt to Get Prepared!

Have a disaster kit at home and in your car.
Understand that you need to drop, cover and Hold onto something when the earthquake is happening
Have an out of state phone number that you and your family in Humboldt can call. This is especially useful when, like in this earthquake, we couldn't make local calls
Keep your gas tank at least 1/2 full at all times
There are many many more tips to be prepared. Check this site, or come into the chapter offices to pick up a copy of "Living on Shaky Ground," which is free to all.
