During an Earthquake
Move away from windows and outside walls.
Stay in the building.
DO NOT use the elevators. The electricity may
go out, and the sprinkler systems may come
on.
If you are trapped, stay calm. Try to get
someone's attention by tapping on hard or
metal parts of the structure.
Drop. Cover. Hold on.
After an Earthquake
Be prepared for aftershocks.
Listen to the radio or television for
information from authorities.
Put on sturdy shoes and protective clothing to
help prevent injury from debris, especially
broken glass.
Check your home for structural damage and
other hazards.
If outside, get into an open area away from
trees, buildings, walls and power lines. Lie
down or crouch low to maintain balance. Get
to the best available shelter if there is no open
area available.
