As a homeowner, ensuring your home is prepared for an earthquake is essential, especially if you qualify for the Earthquake Brace and Bolt (EBB) grant program. This grant helps homeowners secure their single-family homes against seismic activity, providing financial support for essential repairs and retrofitting. With the right preparation, you can reduce your home’s risk and keep your family safe when the ground shakes.
How to Prepare Your Single-Family Home for an Earthquake
If you’re eligible for the EBB grant, now is the perfect time to focus on fortifying your home. The first step in preparing your home is understanding the structural needs that will enhance its ability to withstand an earthquake:
Foundation Repairs: One of the most important areas to address is the foundation. A secure foundation helps prevent the home from shifting or collapsing during a quake.
Bracing and Bolting: The EBB grant can help fund bracing and bolting the foundation to the frame of your house. This step ensures that your home stays intact during an earthquake.
Reinforcing Walls and Supports: Strengthening the walls and adding additional support can improve the overall stability of your home, reducing the risk of structural damage.
