If it could fall, move it or tie it down
October 4, 2009
We don't often have earthquakes in Maine, but when they happen, they can shake us up. Look around your house for heavy pictures that could fall (secure it or move it), objects that could fall off shelves (move them), or a water heater teetering on its blocks (tie it down!)
