In the event of an earthquake, will you have enough drinking water?
The 107th anniversary of the devastating 1906 earthquake is coming up on Thursday, April 18th.
This
April, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) encourages
all Bay Area residents and business leaders to take the time to discuss
plans, supplies and ideas with your family and community to ready your
home or office for an emergency or catastrophic event.
Be a Local Hero Contest!
This
April, we want to know your tips for emergency preparedness and any
precautions you and your family or office have taken to be prepared for
an earthquake or natural disaster.
Tweet
us @WSIPInTheNews between April 8 and 12, and let us know what you're
doing to be a local water hero by demonstrating (via photo) or sharing
your own tips. Participants will receive a pen and certificate.
We'll
retweet some of your tips during the week of April 15, but are
encouraging your participation all month long. All cities and residents
are eligible for a certificate by tweeting us your tip or showing how
your city, home or office is a local hero.
