It’s really important to be prepared and alert when one lives in an earthquake-prone area like my home city. Even though I could not remember in details the 1990 earthquake, experiencing a similar event in 2022 is a wake-up call to improve frequent readiness. 

First, pray! I can be brave and courageous, but I do not own my life. The LORD ordains my every breath, so I will call upon him when I’m in a disaster. If in His words, he formed the earth, then He can command the disaster to stop; just as He ordered the storm to be still.


Second, having an emergency backpack hanging it near doors or windows is a smart way to be prepared. By having basic necessities like food, water, and first aid supplies, we can just grab something and dash.


Third, pressence of mind. Engulfing oneself with too much worry, does not bring us to a safe place. If we overreact in trepidation, it would only cause confusion.

When there is an emergency, we pray, grab an emergency bag and be at ease. It is important to discuss emergency plans with family in order to mark everyone safe.

Stay safe always 🤗🙏💙
