You'll be surprised to see how easy and inexpensive it can be to protect yourself when Mother Nature gets angry. Spend a few dollars today to prevent damage and injury tomorrow. In an earthquake, one of your greatest dangers is from flying or falling glass.
Childproof latches keep kids out, but also keep glass in.
Another danger is falling furniture. Protect yourself by drilling beefy screws through the back. Then through a piece of scrap wood, through the sheetrock and into a wall stud. And make sure your curios don't turn into projectiles by putting museum wax on the bottom. Squish it down nice and hard.
