On the day of the next major Southern California earthquake we'll need a lot more heroes. Heroes that will save lives, help injured animals, comfort others and earn our admiration in the face of a catastrophic event. While these heroes will be very much appreciated, at Hazard Reduction Systems...

We believe that every company needs an Earthquake Hero™ RIGHT NOW. Why?

Because preparing for a major California earthquake is so difficult to do when we have no clear idea when it will happen. With so many other pressing things to contend with it's very difficult to focus on a future earthquake, yet it is so important!

So just what does an Earthquake Hero do?

• Stays vigilant to the reports on Earthquake activity.

  Some scientists believe that we may receive a little warning before major quake. Every minute counts in getting people and assets to safety. A small quake may preceed a major one, and the potential for aftershocks is significant.

• Looks for earthquake hazards in the workplace, including:
  • Objects that if left unsecured could hurt or kill people during an earthquake
  • Debris or other obstacles that would prevent people from easily leaving a building.
• Makes sure that an earthquake disaster plan is in place:
  • The plan is up to date
  • The plan is workable and realistic
  • The plan meets government standards
  • People affected by the plan are aware of it and have received the proper training
• Stays up-to-date on earthquake topics by:
  • Finding necessary local, regional, and national resources needed for business continuity
  • Proactively learning about new best practices for earthquake damage mitigation
  • Searching for and staying up-to-date on Internet resources
