What You Can Control

A clear-headed approach to safety in uncertain times.

Over the past couple of weeks, it’s been a lot… emotionally, mentally, and even geologically. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, you’re definitely not alone.

One helpful way to stay grounded is by shifting your focus from the things you can’t control to the things you can.

When it comes to earthquake safety, there’s actually quite a bit you can do to protect yourself and your loved ones.

Take action on one small thing you can control today and you may feel a little steadier, no matter what shakes tomorrow. The Seven Steps to Earthquake Safety guide is a great source for ideas about where to start.

Spending a little time each week to learn, prepare, and take action doesn’t just make you safer. It can also help you feel more confident and in control, even when everything else feels shaky.

Small steps might not seem like much, but they add up—and they can make a real difference, both in an emergency and in the everyday stress of life.
