DISASTER SUPPLIES PALM SPRINGS




We’ve spent a lot of time during the past year talking about how you can get up to speed on earthquake preparedness and one very important part of the equation is that of disaster supplies in Palm Springs.

If you’ve been reading this blog, you’ll know that we take earthquake preparedness extremely seriously.  It’s where we live.  We constantly encourage you to secure all of your furniture, TVs and breakables to prevent damage or loss, and it’s just as important to make sure that you have disaster supplies in Palm Springs on hand.

We can’t stress enough how crucial it is to have disaster supplies in Palm Springs on hand and to store them where you can easily get to them.

As we’ve pointed out in previous articles, disaster supplies in Palm Springs include things like food and water, survival blankets, first aid kits, emergency lighting and so on.  If you don’t have those sorts of items readily accessible in your home, office and car, you could find yourself caught in a very precarious situation after an earthquake.

We’re not trying to scare you with this information; on the contrary, we’re trying to make sure that you are as prepared as you can be for the next earthquake or other emergency.

Let’s say for argument’s sake that you’ve done the right thing and have secured all your household possessions and in doing so you have made your home safer for your family.  Let’s say you have also put together an earthquake preparedness plan so that everyone knows what to do during and after a quake.

SAFETY FASTENERS IN SAN JOSE


 
Whenever the topic of earthquake preparedness comes up invariably so too does the question - what’s that?  Turns out it’s a lot of things, but in terms of a home, it’s securing furniture and electronics with safety fasteners in San Jose.

What most people don’t realize is that the #1 cause of injuries or even death in an earthquake is from heavy items falling on top of people and the best way to avoid that is by using safety fasteners in San Jose.

The technical term for it is non-structural interior mitigation and what that means is securing those tall, top-heavy pieces of furniture around your home.

The general rule of thumb is that if it’s heavy enough to hurt you if it falls on you it should be secured.

QuakeHOLD!  have pioneered state-of-the-art safety fasteners in San Jose that can be used in just about any household situation.

And what puts our safety fasteners in San Jose head and shoulders above anything else is that they are made of flexible nylon.  What’s unique about these straps is that they enable bigger, heavier furniture to move independently of the structure during an earthquake and not crash to the floor.

The straps also act as shock absorbers to some degree by absorbing some of the energy from a quake.

The old way of securing furniture was to brace it with metal brackets, but the problem with that is the brackets can be ripped from the wall during shaking because metal is rigid and has no give in it, effectively defeating the purpose of securing the item in the first place.

Another unique aspect of our safety fasteners in San Jose is that they don’t need to be drilled into your furniture as was the case with those old metal brackets.  By incorporating what’s called a hook and loop design and combining it with industrial strength adhesive, the straps can be attached to the top of the piece of furniture being secured by pressing them in to place.

The other end of the strap must be scred into the wall stud to secure the item in position.  That’s it.  That’s all you need to do to stop your wall unit, bookcase, china cabinet etc from crashing down in the next earthquake.
