Basic Vehicle and Evacuation Kits Keeping a basic disaster supply kit in your vehicle is one of the best ways to be prepared. Vechil and other experts recommend keeping your largest and best first aid kit in your vehicle you will most likely need it while on the road or otherwise away from home. Having an evacuation kit near the entrance to your home is also highly recommended. Stay where you are during an earthquake. During most other fires or natural disasters, the first thing to do is leave the threat area.
Earthquakes pose a different primary threat, that of falling structure and debris.
Get under something solid. The straightforward reason should be obvious to keep falling debris from contact with you. The time to evacuate the building is when things stop shaking. Try the planned escape route first, but have another one planned in case you can't use the first. Get to your designated assembly point.
