Earthquakes

Grainger has the products and expertise to help before, during and after earthquakes.

Earthquakes can occur almost anywhere, at any time and in any season. There is no way to predict earthquakes, so preparation is critical to saving lives and minimizing damage to your business. Grainger
has the products and expertise you need to be ready for emergencies. When an emergency happens
after business hours, call 800-CALL-WWG and we will open up a branch--even nights and weekends
(a $50 fee may apply).

Earthquake readiness

• Place large or heavy objects on
lower shelves.

• Repair defective electrical wiring
and leaky gas connections.

• Secure water heaters by
strapping to wall studs and
bolting to floor.

• Repair deep cracks in ceilings or
foundations.

• Get expert advice if there are signs of structural defects.

• Store weed killers, pesticides,
and flammable products in
closed cabinets with latches.

• Evacuate immediately if directed
to do so by local officials.

Recovering from earthquakes

• Expect aftershocks.

• Listen for emergency information on a battery-operated radio or television.

• Open cabinets cautiously. Beware of objects that can fall off shelves.

• Stay away from damaged areas.

• Return to the facility only when
authorities say it is safe.

• Leave the area if you smell gas
or fumes from other chemicals.

• Call 800-CALL-WWG
