Ready, Set, Quake

California is earthquake country and you always want to be ready. IRWD suggests you enroll in the CodeRED® Emergency Alert System to receive updated information in any emergency. Just log on to irwd.com and click “Emergency & CodeRED” in the “Customer Care” bar on the left side of the home page. Be aware that the first 72 hours after a quake are critical. So be prepared to be self-sufficient at least that long. Stored water is the most important survival supply. The Federal Emergency Management Agency recommends that you store one gallon per person per day—up to two weeks’ worth if possible.
