There's been eight tiny shakers in the past 24 hours ranging from a magnitude 0.9 (no one felt it) to 2.8 (only felt it if you were sitting). Tip of the Day: If you're like us, you've got bookcases. Sometimes those bookcases are near your bed or maybe a couch. Is it secure? Are shelving units held in by earthquake puddy? Is the whole unit strapped to the wall? All good things to think about before you're rudely awakened.

No less than 15 lower-than-2.0-magnitude quakes shook throughout the Los Angeles area over the weekend. If your cat did one of those random hop and a skips with a shriek, that was probably it. And it's nothing to worry about. What is to have concern over is not being prepared for a large scale earthquake. One of the best ways to keep up on the issue is staying in tune with the The Great Southern California ShakeOut which will host the world's largest earthquake drill in November. And they've made it easier. In addition to their blog, they've got even more social media friendly with a MySpace and Facebook page.

A 1.6 in Loma Linda and a 1.8 up in Frazier Park in the last 24 hours. And that's simply it. Tip of the Day: If you're heading to, moving to or are just interested in learning more about preparedness, San Francisco has a very easy-to-use and slickly designed website called 72hours.org, which named after the amount of time they expect you to be on your own without any government help.

It's the usual daily shakings here and there. If you were in Santa Monica yesterday and thought you felt something, you might have. There were three mini shakes. Tip of the day: There has been talk about using Twitter during emergencies. While cell phone use takes up bandwidth, texting does not, therefore helping save the cellular network from crashing.

Nothing unusual going on. Yesterday saw a mid-morning 1.4 magnitude quake in Gorman and Loma Linda is still having small quakes here and there -- a 2.0 in the afternoon. Tip of the day: If you live or work in Encino, the local chamber of commerce has begun to work on educating the community about earthquake preparedness.

One small 1.4 magnitude aftershock hit the Loma Linda area after yesterday's 4.0 shaker, but the Earth pretty much stood still in Southern California for the last 24 hours. Two other 1.4 quakes were reported near Fontana and Murrieta Hot Springs and a very minor 0.6 near Littlerock (East of Palmdale). The recent heat wave is a good reminder for earthquake preparation. What if "The Big One" hit in the middle of that? Would you be prepared?
