PREPAREDNESS IS THE KEY IN CASE OF ANOTHER LOMA
PRIETA
San Marcos, CA – (October 16, 1999) – As the Bay
Area marks the 10th anniversary of the devastating Loma Prieta earthquake,
northern California residents are being reminded of the wisdom of preparedness.
The timely reminder coincides with the discovery of
a new fault in the Walnut Creek region. The discovery reinforces the need for
earthquake preparedness to be taken seriously.
Trevco, America’s leading manufacturer and
distributor of earthquake safety fasteners, advises that being prepared is
surprisingly cost effective and is as easy as going to your local hardware
store.
When an earthquake strikes it is the big-ticket
items in a home that can potentially cause the most damage and the company has
developed a simple and effective method of securing those items.
Trevco markets a range of Quakehold! straps
for large furniture items such as televisions, computers and china cabinets, as
well as temporary adhesives for securing breakables.
“For as little as $50 you can secure the contents of your entire home including furniture, electronics and collectibles.
“We also supply other earthquake products such as Automatic Gas Shut-off Valves, Safety Lightsticks and Survival Kits that are all designed to be used in the event of emergencies and natural disasters,” says Trevco president Dran Reese.
Quakehold! products are available through Home Depot, Sears
and Orchard Supply Hardware.
A run down of the entire range of products and their
applications is posted on the company’s website at www.earthquakeinfo.com
Trevco will be exhibiting at today’s Safety Fair in Jack London Square. The company will be sharing a booth with the American Red Cross and will be displaying its earthquake safety fasteners.
Trevco representative Larry Swendner will be
available for interviews and to give demonstrations of the products and he can
be contacted on pager: (510) 494-6581.
