Maintenance Spot Secure your pictures or art work on the walls so they will not fall off the “hook”. Safe Spot Dangerous Spot Dangerous Spot Pictures and hanging objects can fall and cause injuries Dangerous Spot Ceiling fans or objects overhead could fall on you and pin you down or cause injuries. Dangerous Spot Areas near windows are dangerous, because glass can shatter and break on you. Dangerous Spot Secure heavy items to the wall so they will not fall onto you or block your egress. Items can be secured by bolting bookshelves and cabinets to the studs in the walls, or by using earthquake putty to secure items such as vases to a bookshelf. Maintenance Spot Keep a wrench near the gas shut off for your home and be familiar with how to turn the gas off Safe Spot It is safe under a sturdy desk or table where you could drop, cover, and hold on. Maintenance Spot Turn off your hot water heater and secure the heater itself with two straps. Safe Spot Ducking and covering near a couch, with the sofa cushions over your head is safer than trying to run to another room
