Earthquake Preparedness Team Using World’s Biggest Mobile Earthquake Simulator


The earthquake preparedness team from Quake Hold Industrial is now on the way to educate people about the necessity of earthquake preparedness. According to the earthquake preparedness crew from Quake Hold, recreating an earthquake and demonstrating the impact of severe earthquake will spread the awareness faster.


At QuakeHOLD! Industrial, the earthquake preparedness team uses the world’s biggest mobile earthquake simulator. The purpose of which is to educate people on earthquake preparedness through the real life experience. So that every person can protect themselves from the disastrous earthquakes at the same time understands why they should be prepared for earthquakes..


The BIG SHAKER can recreate up to a magnitude 8.0 intensity and when the shaking stops, participants will have a much clearer understanding of why they should take the time to get prepared.


Step 1 of earthquake preparedness is to identify potential hazards around the home and fix them. Things like tall, top-heavy furniture, TVs and other electronics, as well as breakables on shelves should all be secured with earthquake safety fasteners.


All of these items can become potential hazards in an earthquake and can cause personal injury, and in some cases even death, if they are not secured.


It as been observed that majority of injuries in an earthquake is caused by unsecured things falling on people. A good example of how to avoid being injured is to not have heavy framed pictures hanging over the bed or living room couch. All delicate, heavy, expensive stuff at home should be well fastened. Quake Hold Industrial organized their special earthquake preparedness team in order to give a real insight of this natural disaster.

The same consequences are applicable to businesses also. Unsecured filing cabinets, desktop computers and other appliances can be potentially hazardous to employees. Hence it is not only about securing household goods but also business and property.


The BIG SHAKER used the Earthquake Preparedness team provides realistic demonstrations of how easy, affordable and reassuring it is to prepare a home or office for a major earthquake.
