Prepare
https://www.nsc.org/home-safety/
Earthquakes occur with
little to no warning. It is
important to have an
emergency action plan and
to remain prepared.
1. Secure large appliances.
2. Install flexible gas and
water connections.
3. Anchor heavy furniture
to the wall.
4. Place heavy objects on
lower shelves.
5. Never hang anything
above where you sleep.

 Inside Outside In a Car
1. Pull over to a shoulder as quickly as
possible. Avoid stopping under trees,
overpasses, and buildings – i.e. things
that can fall on you. If you’re driving on
an overpass, continue to solid ground.

2. Turn off your car and use the parking

brake. Cover your head with your arms
and wait out the shaking.

3. Once it’s over, drive cautious-

ly. Aftershocks are unpredictable in size
and timing (some quakes cause hun-
dreds of mini-shocks), so don’t dilly
dally to your destination, but be pre-
pared to stop again if there is another
noticeably big shake.

4. Anticipate traffic light outages. Treat

intersections like they have four-way
stop signs. Watch out for visible bridge
and overpass damage.

Stay away from glass and falling objects
