A similar earthquake struck near the Indian Ocean. The quake measured an 8.9 on the Richter scale, putting up 30 foot waves. This tsunami was reported to move as fast as a jet. It traveled hundreds of miles to the coast-lines of the Indian Ocean.
Buying enough sand bags to put up around your home will be the first step in dealing with an increase of water that you cannot control. When there is a flood because of an increase of water due to weather, you should be able to sandbag your home quickly and efficiently.
Just as if you gave a tightly packed crowd a violent push, all the water pushed away from a tectonic plate is forced forward. As the water approaches dry land, the ocean's floor rises. The moving water is forced upward, forming a wave. That wave is pushes inland until all the energy from the earthquake is depleted, and the water can seep again back into the ocean.
Many people do not realize how many house fires are started because someone is smoking indoors. When you have someone that smokes living in your home, or even if you smoke make sure that the smoking takes place outside to ensure that it does not become dangerous. If someone is smoking inside of your home, there are countless ways that a fire could be started. Find the best way to ensure that everyone in your home knows that it is only appropriate to be smoking outside to ensure that there are no accidental fires started from smoking.
While you are working on diverting the water, you need to understand that water is going to go toward lower ground. Try to dig some different paths so you can be sure that the water is going to rush away from your home and is not going to be forced into your home in any way.
As you are working on preventing water damage in your Boston home, you should also be prepared to react if water should get into your home. When you can, you are going to want to get the water out as soon as possible.
If you feel a strong earthquake, begin to act immediately. Do not wait for an official warning. Move to higher ground. If there is none, book it inland. Once you feel you've reached a safer position, turn on the radio or TV and find out if there is a tsunami on the way. Depending on your area, the news will direct you as to where you should go to seek safety.
Third, if a fire should occur in your home it is important that everyone in your home will be alerted as soon as possible. As soon as everyone is alerted they should know what they are going to do to get out of the house safely and meet up with everyone else that was in the home. While you are making sure that this is going to happen, it is important that the smoke detectors in your home are working properly. Check the batteries every six months and make sure that the smoke detectors in your home are going to be replaced every ten years. Both of these tasks are important in avoiding fire damage in your Boston home. While working to remember these tasks, you may need an electronic reminder to ensure that you do not forget to keep your home ready to avoid any type of fire.
Take the time that you need to prepare before running water becomes a problem around you. As you prepare for preventing water damage you can ensure that you have done all that you can to keep your home safe and free of excess water.
