Rather than living in fear or ignoring the possibility, you can take a few simple steps to prepare yourself and your family, while mitigating the potential for damage to your home.
The first step is to assess your risk – what types of disasters could you potentially face?

and ask your local fire department to assess the dwelling. If you live in an earthquake zone, secure heavy items, like bookshelves and hot water heaters, in the home. This will protect your family from injury and prevent further damage. If you're at risk for hurricanes invest in storm windows or cut to fit plywood.
Create a plan for your home that includes an escape route and an out of town contact number should your family be separated. Practice it will all members of the household. Know how to turn off the utilities.
Prepare an evacuation or "grab and go" kit. This should include copies of all your important papers including financial and family records, medical information, copies of prescriptions, some cash or traveler's checks, a list of emergency contacts, bank information and insurance policies. Also include food and water, first aid supplies, tools, emergency supplies, clothing and bedding.
Make a household inventory –keeping a written description of your belongings will help you when it's time to make an insurance claim. If you have access to a camera or a video camera make a visual record of your home's contents – it will make your claim that much stronger. Note how much items cost, record serial numbers, and don't forget to include your vehicles and the contents of your garage. Remember that having insurance is also important – without it you may find yourself facing the loss of your possessions with no means to replace them.
