Earthquake

What to do during an earthquake:

If you are indoors:

• Have your emergency kit and safety plan at hand
• Stay inside. Avoid standing near windows, mirrors, glass sliding doors, tall shelves, fireplaces, and light fixtures
• Shelter under a sturdy and weighted piece of furniture (table, desk, bed), and stay there until the shaking stops
• If you are in a wheelchair, lock the wheels and protect your head and neck

If you are outdoors:

• Stay outside and move away from buildings, power lines, and any other structures that could collapse, and take shelter in an open space, if possible
• If you are in your vehicle, do not stop on bridges, elevated roads, or under an overpass or tunnel
• Listen to the radio for instructions from the police and rescue units
