(9/28/16) Earthquake alert: An earthquake advisory has been issued for all Southern California counties based upon the earthquake swarm that occurred in Bombay Beach (located in Imperial County and south of where the San Andreas fault ends).
While there is no evidence of an imminent earthquake, the advisory reminds everyone about the importance of disaster preparedness and what to do during and after an earthquake, including:
• Drop, cover and hold on during the shaking
• If driving, pull to the side of road and stop until shaking stops
• Do not stop or take cover under over passes or bridges
• If you smell gas, evacuate the area
• Do not handle or drive over downed power lines
This is also a good time to review your family’s action plan. Visit www.RivCoReady.org and on Twitter for valuable preparedness information.
Also register cell phone numbers and e-mail addresses with the County’s Early Warning Notification System at www.RivCoReady.org/EWNS.
