head to secure the pillow. After an earthquake, exam yourself for injuries. Check for leaks and learn how to turn off your water, if necessary, and once you’re safe, check on your neighbors.

The LW CERT will hold a training on March 12. Classes are held from 6-8 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays for six weeks. During the training, residents are taught to:

• Plan for emergencies, power outages, and earthquakes.

• Protect themselves and others by learning skills such as basic first aid, using a fire extinguisher, and reacting in an emergency.

• Recover and get back on their feet after a disaster. For more information, contact Eloy Gomez at 562-431-6586, ext. 2356, or email eloyg@lwsb.com. — Karen Olson
