Securing Computer Equipment for Earthquakes

We use a very simple system to secure our computer equipment. An example is shown in this figure.
The blue and white strip is the back side of a strip of velcro. The other side of the velcro has an adhesive backing. We attached one short strip to the table, and another to the printer. The strip on top holds the two together. We had this in place during the strong shaking in our home in the Mogul earthquake, and it was completely successful in preventing computer equipment from sliding around.
