Earthquake Preparedness

Safe Food Storage

What can you do to protect your food storage?

Plastic containers and cans will do better in an earthquake than glass bottles.

If you do a lot of canning, you’ll have glass bottles on the shelf. You need to find a way to keep them from jiggling off the shelves onto the floor. That would be a mess you don’t want to clean up, plus there goes all your food.

Bungee cords work great. The bungee cord hooks right into the end of the metal pre-fabricated shelves.

When you’re unloading and reloading your shelves or just reorganizing things a bit, the bungee cords come off easily. When you’re done just put them back in place.

A little foresight now can save a lot of hassle and mess later.

When the earthquake hits don't walk around in bare feet. Broken glass can cause a major injury that's preventable.
