It is sad but true that some people die in earthquakes from (fall) furniture and bricks. Earthquake (safe) is very important and there is more to it just keeping buildings from falling down. So if your home is in earthquake area, you should prepare carefully before the earthquake (come). First, make sure you buy a house which is earthquake safe. All pipes should (fix) to the walls and all walls should be (especial) thick and strong. Make sure the building has no (break) windows and is well repaired. Second, look at the objects in your house. Objects like computers, televisions and lamps can be tied to tables or (stick) to them so they won't easily move around. The cupboards, many small things are stored, should have strong doors. Always remember, it is better to be safe than sorry.
