Who We Serve
QuakePrepare provides earthquake consulting to San Francisco Bay homeowners who need more information about how to prepare for a serious earthquake, what they should do during an earthquake, and what they should look for after the quake.
“I am unsure about how well my home is secured to its foundation.” Even though your foundation may have been retrofitted, you want to know if it was done properly and adequately (many are not). There is a large lack of knowledge in this area, and, unfortunately, there are a lot of people living in the bay area who have a false sense of security that their house is “safe” because it was retrofitted.
“I was worried about our retrofit, but was
surprised to hear how bad it was. I am
very impressed with this service.”
- Kim Walker
Are you curious about which appliances, furniture and wall hangings are ready to injure you? Everybody seems to know about the water heater, but what about the furnace, the refrigerator, the stove, the washer/dryer? Are these dangerous? Maybe you have an idea about what to secure, but haven’t a clue about how to do it or whom to hire to do it. Does any of this apply to you?
“I’ve read conflicting things about the safest place to be in each room in the house when an earthquake hits. What rooms should I avoid?” What about doorways, hallways, staircases? Do you have the answers?
“I especially appreciated your showing me the safest places for me and the kids to be – I wasn’t aware of this.” - Aileen Liu
The shut-offs for your gas, water, and electric supplies – you know where they are, but aren’t positive about how to work them, or if indeed they are workable at all. Is this you?
“I know I should have an emergency kit for my home and car, but I just haven’t gotten around to it.” If you’re in this group, we can help. We have various grades of kits available, customized to family size. Visit our QuakeKits page for kit contents and pricing.
The clients who benefit from our consultation service, QuakeConsult, are those who take action based upon what they learn.
The peace of mind that comes from being prepared for the big earthquake which is in our future: this is the goal of our service.
“Even if you feel you’re prepared for an
earthquake, it’s worth it to get this consult.
It’s great to have a pair of experienced eyes
looking things over, and it gives you great
peace of mind.”
- Brian Alcorn
