You should start by making sure that your home is structurally sound and up to code. Make sure all walls, floors and ceilings are securely attached and not cracked or damaged. Additionally, you may want to consider installing additional bracing or reinforcement to strengthen certain parts of the structure. If you live in an area prone to earthquakes, you may also want to consult with a structural engineer to assess any potential risks and develop a plan for strengthening your home. Finally, make sure you have emergency supplies on hand such as flashlights, batteries, water and non-perishable food items.
