(audience applauds) - Hello and welcome to this edition of "Prepare Yourself," your local library of useful information when it comes to preparing for a disaster or emergency.

I'm Hannah Lee, one of your guides for the show.

- Thank you, Hannah.

And I'm Chase Overholt, your other host for our program.

As Hannah here just reminded you, this is the place to find out what you can do to: - [All] "Prepare Yourself."

- For whatever disaster might come your way.

- Believe it or not, planning ahead can actually be fun.

On this episode, we'll be learning all about how to prepare for an earthquake or tsunami.

We'll be covering some important topics like practicing earthquake safety at home and work, how to prepare your home before an earthquake happens, where to take shelter if there's a tsunami and so much more.

- Hannah, I've never prepared for an earthquake before.

I'm kind of scared.

You might even say I'm a little shaken up.

- [Audience Member] Boo!

- Okay, very funny, but don't worry, okay?

There's no need to be scared if you're prepared.

We'll be right back with our show after these messages.

Stay tuned.

- Man, getting ready for all these earthquakes, fires and flood sure is a drag.

- What?

No way.

Being prepared is super cool.

- But I wish there was some way to make preparing for disasters fun.

- Well, there is.

- [Both] Check this out!

(lively music) ♪ Shakey ♪ Shakey the quake snake (Shakey boings) - [Announcer] Hey, kids.

Get ready to duck and cover 'cause Shakey the quake snake is here.

(children cheer) Shakey is all shook up about earthquake safety.

- Hi everybody.

Today we're going to talk about a very important part of being ready for an earthquake.

Why?

Because earthquake safety is my thing.

I'm a snake.

I don't bark or sting.

And there's no one here to bite.

Earthquake safety, it's all right.

Being unprepared makes me rattle.

But if you don't know yet, I won't tattle.

I'm an emergency preparedness expert.

I'm not a poet, okay?

Today's topic is tsunamis.

Kids, we don't want anyone unprepared in an emergency.

We want you to stay on your toes if you have 'em.

Now we have a guest who knows everything there is to know about getting out of the way of the ocean.

Sam, are you there?

(Sam snores) Sam, the kids are ready to learn about tsunamis.

- Oh, oh, oh.

Thanks Shakey.

Hello, children.

I'm Sam the seal, but you can call me Sammy.

I practice getting away from the ocean all the time with my family.

Oh.

Oh.

(soft music) Right after an earthquake happens, if it's out at sea, there is a chance that a dangerous wave will come ashore.

And if that happens, it's important to get out of there.

My family and I practice hauling out to higher ground to stay safe and dry.

And you should too.

Oh, oh, was that a fish?

Fish are so tasty.

I mean, friendly.

Friendly.

We like to get up on tall rocks like this and then we can relax and maybe it's sunny and warm, safe and (Sam snores).

- Sam, this tsunami prep is really important.

Stay on board with us.

- Yeah, it's not hard.

Do a practice drill with your family.

It can be fun.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

And find a nice spot where you can stay safe and dry and kind of cozy.

(Sam snores) - Sammy has apparently given his all for higher ground.

But getting to higher ground fast is important to do if there's a tsunami after an earthquake.

Please make a plan, people.

(Shakey boings) Remember kids, the next time the earth starts shaking you can be prepared like Shakey the quake snake.

(logo swooshes) - [People] And now, a word from the community.

- Some things to remember during an earthquake is after the initial shaking is to expect that aftershock that's going to come.

For some folks, they want to go out, check on family, check on friends, maybe go check on an elder family member.

But some things to keep in mind during an earthquake is just those road conditions what does that mean?

Especially with overpasses, roadways, freeway overpasses and underpasses, we have to take into consideration depending on how severe the earthquake was that there may be some damage to those roadways.

And it takes a little bit of time for the public works or Cal-Trans for their safety inspectors and whatnot to, to get out there and do those visual inspections of those roadways.

There's so many things that you can do to prepare that go across all disasters and types of emergencies.

It's having a supply of food, canned food and whatnot, that can take you for three, four, five days.

It's having enough bottled water for each member of your family, roughly about a gallon to gallon and a half per person per day.

And not only having that water for drinking water, but also having water for sanitary type items and washing hands, washing dishes and whatnot.

Having basic things that we take for granted day to day.

Can openers, manual can openers to having a a lighter.

It's just very simple, basic things to keep in a go bag that can go across all emergencies and disasters.

- [Jimmy] This is "You're in Jeopardy."

And now your host, Catastropher Jones.

- Thank you Jimmy, and thank you everyone.

Welcome back to our game today.

Now let's meet our champions and see how they fared after the last week.

Shockingly in third place with negative $34,000 is three-time Nobel Prize winner, Professor Fiona Fitzgerald, a geophysicist from Harvard University.

- This game is rigged.

I've answered every question correctly.

What is going on here?

- Well, better luck this time around, professor.

And in second place with just $26 is Mr. Bob Ross himself.

Now tell me, Bob, what happened here?

You were doing so well in our first game and then it seemed like everything went downhill.

- Now Catastropher, there didn't seem to be too many categories about painting last week.

And you know, maybe if there were I might have done a little bit better.

But no matter, really, I'm perfectly happy with my $26.

- Ah, yes.

I will remember to put more categories about painting next time.

And in first place somehow with $172,000 is Blake Duncan, a snorkeling instructor from Laguna Beach, California?

- Woo!

Oh, I excited (snorkel distorts speaking).

- You're going to have to take that thing out of your mouth.

- Oh, oh, oh sorry dude.

Oh, I'm just so, just so stoked to be here.

Man, you have no idea.

- And we're so stoked for you too, Blake.

All right players, good luck and let's get to work.

Here are today's categories.

The Big Wave.

Uh-oh.

Get Under The Table.

It's Not My Fault.

And Shake What Mama Gave You.

Oh.

Blake, since you're a champion, you have control of the board.

- Okay man, let's see.

Yeah, you know, I think I'll take, Get Under The Table for 400.

- In the event of an earthquake, immediately take these three actions to protect yourself.

(buzzer buzzes) Professor Fitzgerald.

- Drop, cover and hold on.

- Ooh, not quite right.

(buzzer buzzes) Yes, Mr. Ross.

- What is drop, cover and hold on.

- [Catastropher] Correct.

- What?

- During an earthquake, remember to drop to your hands and knees, cover your head and neck or get under a sturdy desk or table for shelter and hold on until the shaking stops.

Bob, you have the board.

- Hmm, I think I'll pick The Big Wave for $600.

- [Catastropher] Oh.

Taking shelter in an area that is 100 feet or more above sea level and at least one mile inland can keep you safe during this type of disaster.

(buzzer buzzes).

Professor.

- [Professor] Tsunami!

- I'm sorry, that is not correct.

And Professor, volume is not the issue here.

(buzzer buzzes) Blake.

- What is the end of the world?

- Ooh, no, I'm sorry.

That is not the correct response either.

- Seriously dude?

The end of the world is the only time that I would be away from the beach.

It's where I feel the safest personally.

- Okay.

(buzzer buzzes) Mr. Ross.

- What is a tsunami?

- Correct.

- I just said that.

- Ooh, speaking out of turn, $10,000 deducted from the professor.

Bob, you're up.

- I'll go with Shake What Mama Gave You for $600.

- [Catastropher] This smartphone app provides earthquake warnings and notifications about nearby earthquakes.

(buzzer buzzes) Blake.

- MyShake.

Wait, wait, I mean, what is MyShake?

- Ooh, too late, Blake, you already gave your response without phrasing it as a question.

- Wait, that's it.

It's just needs to be in the form of a question?

- Well, professor, that is how you play the game.

(buzzer buzzes) Bob?

- What is MyShake?

- Correct.

Bob, you're rocking and rolling today.

(dramatic music) Okay folks, we have reached today's Final Jeopardy and the category is Family Emergency.

Contestants, write down your wagers.

- You're all going down, all of you.

- In case of separation during a disaster, a family emergency plan should specify this important location.

Contestants, write down your responses and good luck.

(lively music) And that's time.

Blake, we go to you first.

You wrote down, what is the beach for $123,456.

Ooh, I'm sorry, Blake.

That brings you all the way down to $47,344.

- Oh, crabs.

- Oh, Bob, you're up next.

I'm not quite sure how you did that so fast.

Sorry, but that is incorrect.

- You know, Catastropher, art is subjective, but that's all right.

It's just another happy accident for the books.

- And last but not least, Professor Fitzgerald.

What is a predetermined meeting spot for $10 million?

That is correct, Professor.

What a comeback.

Congratulations, that makes you our finalist for this game.

- Yes, yes, yes!

I'll see you next time.

- This is, see how this unfolds in the next episode of "You're In Jeopardy."

(lively music) - I had spent plenty of time in this seedy threadbare excuse for a town in my day, but somehow this time was different.

I knew something was coming.

I could feel it in the air.

Not unlike an alley cat sensing a mangy rat before it appears from behind a dumpster.

But the questions I kept asking myself were what was coming and when.

There was only one low down character I knew I could call on for information.

Now he was a slippery type, a bit wishy-washy.

Most people in the know, call him The Weatherman.

Not only did I need intel from him, but he had something of mine and I wanted it back.

(footsteps tapping) Leonard.

- Nobody's called me that name in... - 10 years.

- My God, it's really you, isn't it?

How have you been?

- All right, all right, enough with the pleasantries.

I believe you have something of mine that you're overdue to return.

- Ah right.

Let's discuss that later.

Here, have a drink first.

- Well, all right then.

Barkeep, Shirley Temple neat.

There's something else I wanted to ask you.

Do you feel it?

This thing that's coming?

I would think you would've sensed it first.

I would think you would've sensed it first.

- Well, they don't call me The Weatherman for nothing.

There's something coming.

It's going to shake up this whole crummy town before you can say duck and cover.

- Are you saying?

Are you saying what I think you're saying?

- It's been decades since the last big one.

We're due for another one really soon and we'd better be prepared when it comes.

Quick, get under the table, drop, cover, and hold on.

- So now is probably not the best time to ask when you're going to return my hand crank radio.

- What?

Are you serious right now?

We're in the middle of a major quake here.

- But I wanted to put it in my home preparedness kit.

- Well, it's a little late for that right now, don't you think?

- That was my only hand crank radio and you stole it.

- Come on now.

This is hardly the time for petty squabbles.

Hey you there, behind the bar.

Go fetch your tool chest in the back and secure those shelves in place.

- Fix it yourself.

- We don't need anything else falling.

There's bound to be an aftershock.

It's as likely as a cockroach jonesing for a turkey sandwich.

- Hold on.

You are not going to worm your way out of this with your fancy turkey sandwich talk.

I want my radio back.

- Okay, okay.

Don't get your trench coat in a twist.

Let's go outside, check and make sure it's safe and then we can amble on over to my place and you can get your dog-gone radio back.

- All right, Leonard, lead the way.

You know, I may have been a little harsh.

You did just about save my life back there.

- Well, what can I say?

I have a reflex for these things.

It's not unlike-- - Oh, some metaphor about a jackrabbit on a bicycle or a jumping bean in a frying pan, right?

- I guess you know me better than I thought.

- You know what, Lenny?

This may be the start of a beautiful, well, maybe an acquaintanceship where we only talk every 10 years.

- And we say we'll meet up and we never do.

- Sounds about right to me.

- [People] And now another word from the community.

- People are still traumatized by the fires that we've experienced.

Five fires over the last five and a half years.

And they're nervous about how much rain we've had over the winter producing very high vegetation.

And so they're predicting mega fires this year.

We're still not done rebuilding from the 2017 fires.

People are still moving through the exercises.

Do they want to rebuild?

Can they get insurance?

Can they finance the rebuilding?

And even five years later, we know that you're still under PTSD.

If the wind blows in, you know, higher, the tree branches whip around or a smell of a barbecue, it just brings them right back to the experience that night.

After the 2017 fires, the county organized a series of folks called the Hope Crisis Counselors.

And they were available to work with neighbors, neighborhoods, going out to institutions.

We needed some mental health counseling in order to be healthy to help people navigate through their grief and recovery.

I hope everyone is aware that the county helps to organize resources for folks who are still challenged by the trauma of any crisis, whether it's the fires or floods.

And please, please reach out to us.

- Hi, I'm Kiki and this is "Plan Ahead," with me, Kid Scientist!

(lively music) Today, we're going to talk all about earthquakes.

Many things can cause earthquakes, but a lot of the time, it's when two tectonic plates slide past each other in different directions!

California has a lot of earthquake activity on what we call fault lines, which sometimes form when tectonic plates are moving next to each other.

Tectonic plate boundaries are always faults, but not all faults are tectonic plate boundaries.

Huh?

I don't even know what I just said.

Whose fault is that?

(drum roll) Okay, basically, if the ground does this, or this, it can cause this.

And if you live near an ocean, you might also be at risk of a tsunami if an earthquake hits.

So if you want to be prepared for the next rocky encounter, follow these simple steps!

Number one!

If there's an earthquake or tsunami, it's important to have a plan about where to meet with your family if you get separated.

Make sure to pick two locations: one that's close to home, and one that's a central location near where your family works, plays, and goes to school.

(announcer laughs) Make sure those places are 100 feet or more above sea level, or at least one mile inland.

Number two!

Practice drop, cover, and hold on with your family and coworkers.

When you start to feel shaking and quaking, you drop, cover and hold on!

You can practice it at home and at work!

Number three!

As always, be sure you have a home emergency kit with any food, water, and anything else you need for at least seven days.

Earthquakes can happen anytime of the year and without warning!

That means it's extra important to be prepared and practice what to do if one happens.

Well, that's all the time we have for today, everyone!

And remember: It's always better to be prepared for anything and have nothing bad happen, than to have something bad happen and not be prepared at all.

Tune in next time for more advice from a small child.

I am a small child.

Sit on me and get advice.

Tune in next time for more advice from a small child, on "Plan Ahead with Kid Scientist."

That's me!

- And we're back.

Thank you so much for joining us on this episode of "Prepare Yourself."

We hope you tune in next time to learn more about how you can prepare for a disaster or an emergency.

- Before we sign off, let's quickly review what we learned about preparing for an earthquake or a tsunami.

We learned how to drop, cover, and hold on during an earthquake.

- We also learned about the MyShake app which notifies you about nearby earthquakes.

- And we learned how to prepare your family and secure your home.

- Plus, don't forget Kiki's great explanation of tectonic plates.

This or this can cause this.

Makes sense to me.

- I don't know about you, but all this learning has made me kind of hungry.

I could really go for a milk shake.

- Ooh, okay, now that was seriously awful.

Just like really all around terrible.

You're really off your game today.

- Well, what can I say?

My humor comes in waves.

- You need to be stopped, like end the show, cut.

Can we end it now?

Say your line.

- Well folks, this is all the time we have for now, but we hope to see you next time.

And remember.

- [All] "Prepare Yourself."
