🏢 Chính quyền và người dân các tỉnh Gia Lai, Đắk Lắk, Khánh Hòa đang chạy đua với thời gian chằng chống nhà cửa, bảo vệ tài sản và sơ tán dân đến nơi an toàn trước khi bão số 13 Kalmaegi đổ bộ. Thời gian đang cạn dần!

Some of the biggest earthquakes since Europeans arrived in what is now the US didn't happen in California or Alaska. They occurred in 1812 and 1813 near New Madrid, Missouri, and some of the shocks were felt as far away as the East Coast. Its just a matter of time until another quake hits this fault zone, and the five-state region that will be affected is woefully unprepared.

Tip, if you ever need it: take a lot of photos of your house for insurance/disaster reasons. More than you think you need. Of all the random details of stuff -- where shelves are, what your drawers look like, what pictures you have on the walls. Having just gone through a remodel due to a plumbing disaster, there are a lot of places I had wished I had photos of (ie the laundry room cabinets, the inside of the kitchen cabinets!) #disaster #tip #disasterpreparation #insurance #disasterprep
