Earthquake...What to Do During and After DURING THE QUAKE... REMAIN CALM! You will be better able to assess your situation

• If You Are Indoors – Stay there. Get under a desk, table or other sturdy object. If sturdy object is not available, move toward an interior wall. A doorway may not be the safest place. Stay clear of windows, bookcases, mirrors and fireplaces. If you happen to be in the kitchen, turn off the stove at the first sign of shaking – then take cover under a table or other sturdy object. • If You Are Outside – Get into the open, away from buildings, trees, walls, or power lines. Sit or lie down and brace yourself. • If In A Crowded Public Place – Remain calm and seek shelter from falling debris. Do not rush for the exits – other people will have the same idea. • If You Are In Your Car – Pull to the side of the road away from overpasses, bridges or power lines. Stay in your car and turn on the radio. If you must leave your car, move to an open area away from other cars.
