DURING AN EARTHQUAKE
When you feel an earthquake, duck under a desk or sturdy table. Stay away from windows,
bookcases, file cabinets, heavy mirrors, hanging plants, and other heavy objects that could fall.
Watch out for falling plaster and ceiling tiles. Stay undercover until the shaking stops, and hold
onto your cover. If it moves, move with it. Below are some additional tips for specific locations:
If you are in a HIGH-RISE BUILDING, and not near a desk or table, move against an interior
wall and protect your head with your arms. Do not use the elevators. Do not be surprised if the
alarm or sprinkler systems come on. Stay indoors. Glass windows can dislodge during the quake
and sail for hundreds of feet.
If youre OUTDOORS, move to a clear area away from trees, signs, buildings, electrical wires,
and poles.
If youre on a SIDEWALK NEAR BUILDINGS, duck into a doorway to protect yourself from
falling bricks, glass, plaster, and other debris.
If youre DRIVING, pull over to the side of the road and stop. Avoid overpasses, power lines,
and other hazards. Stay inside the vehicle until the shaking is over.
If youre in a CROWDED STORE OR OTHER PUBLIC PLACE, do not rush for exits. Move
away from display shelves containing objects that could fall.
If youre in a WHEELCHAIR, stay in it. Move to cover, if possible, lock your wheels, and
protect your head with your arms.
If youre in the KITCHEN, move away from the refrigerator, stove, and overhead cupboards.
(Take time NOW to anchor appliances, and install security latches on cupboard doors to reduce
hazards.)
If youre in a STADIUM OR THEATER, stay in your seat and protect your head with your arms.
Do not try to leave until the shaking is over, then leave in a calm, orderly manner. Avoid rushing
toward exits.
AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE CHECK LIST
Be prepared for aftershocks, and plan where you will take cover when they occur.
Check for injuries. Give first aid, as necessary.
Remain calm and reassure others.
Avoid broken glass.
Check for fire. Take appropriate actions and precautions.
Check gas, water, and electric lines. If damaged, shut off service. If gas is leaking, dont use
matches, flashlights, appliances, or electric switches. Open windows, leave building, and report to
gas company.
Replace all telephone receivers, and use for emergency calls only.
Tune to the emergency broadcast station on radio or television. Listen for emergency bulletins.
Stay out of damaged buildings.
INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY READINESS

Know the danger spots, (windows, mirrors, hanging objects, fireplaces and tall furniture).
Conduct practice drills. Physically place yourself and your children in safe locations.
Learn first aid and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) from your local Red Cross or other
community organization.
Decide where your family will reunite, if separated.
necessary. Also, they may need special foods or medication. Be sure to store several days
supply of these special provisions.
PERSONS WHO DONT SPEAK ENGLISH: People who cannot speak English often rely on
their family or friends for information. If they are separated during an earthquake, they may need
help. Prepare emergency information cards, written in English, indicating identification, address,
and special needs.
PETS: After an earthquake, you should be concerned with your own safety before taking care of
your pets. Storing extra food and water for pets is always a good idea. Keep them in a secure place
at home after an earthquake. If you are evacuated, they will not be allowed at the emergency
shelter.
During the Earthquake
Preparations for an earthquake include knowing what to do while it is happening. By learning and
practicing what you should try to do, you will be more able to remain calm enough to protect
yourself and help others. Know what to do, wherever you are. In summary, you should take cover
and stay there.
If youre inside your home, stay there. Get out of the kitchen safer places are inside hall, in
corners, in archways. Take cover under a heavy table, desk or any solid furniture that you can get
under and hold onto. Protect your head and face. Doors may slam on you figures if you are in a
doorway. Avoid areas near windows.
If you are in a yard outside your home, stay there and get clear of buildings and wires that could
fall on you.
Dont go outside where you may be hit by falling debris pavements next to tall buildings are
particularly dangerous.
Avoid lifts if you are in a lift when an earthquake happens, press all floors buttons and get out
when you can. High rise residents will hear fire alarms go off and electricity may fail.
If you are in a vehicle, pull over to the sight (leave the road clear) away from bridges, over bridges
and buildings. Stay in your vehicle.
If you are in a crowed public place, take cover and watch that you dont get trampled. In
shopping centers, take cover in the nearest store and keep away form windows, neon signs and
display shelves of heavy objects.
Remain in protected place until the shacking stops. Anticipate after shocks they may occur
after the first quake.
Try to remain calm and help others.
After the earthquake
Preparation of an earthquake also include knowing what to do and not do, after the shaking stopswhen there is a danger from aftershocks, fire, falling building materials, debris, etc. Remain calm.
You may have to take charge of others. Take care of life threatening situations first. Remember,
you may be on your own for 72 hours or more.
Check your home for structural damage and other hazards.
Check yourself and others nearby for injuries-administer first aid quickly and carefully.
If you are evacuating, locate and take your pack of emergency supplies with you.
Use a torch to check utilities and not shut them off unless damaged. Leaking gas will smell.
Dont light matches or turn on light switches-until you are sure there are no gas leaks or
flammable liquids.
Wear sturdy shoes, if theres debris, particularly broken glass.
Check your neighbors after looking your own family. Your first help after and earthquake
usually will come from family and friends.
Confine frightened pets.
Dont flush toilets if you suspects nearby sewer lines are broken.
Carefully cleanup any spilled hazardous material.
Secure your home against intruders.
Turn on your battery-power radio (or car radio) and listen for broadcast emergency instructions.
