During an earthquake:

If indoors:

  • Get under a heavy furniture and hold on to it; or sit against an inside wall.
  • Do not stand in doorways of buildings.
  • Stay inside. Don't try to leave the building, because objects can fall on you.

If outdoors:

  • Move to a clear area, stay away from the buildings, trees, and anything that can fall on you.
  • Stay there until the shaking stop.

If in a vehicle:

  • If you are in a car, stay inside.
  • Move into the open, away from the buildings, and any heavy objects, falling debris.
DON'T TRY TO RUN, MANY INJURIES HAPPEN WHEN PEOPLE TRY TO RUN AWAY.
