After an earthquake you may need to look for shelter, food and water in a variety of places than you may normally go. Churches and synagogues may be providing shelter, and schools may be places where shelter is set up for people who can't stay in their homes. Food and water may be available through your neighbors joining together to provide for the community. If you need medication after an earthquake, you may be able to get that from local clinics and hospitals if you're needing access to prescription medication.
