In the event of a major earthquake, it is crucial to remember the “Drop, Cover, and Hold” safety protocol.
If you are in bed, remain there and follow the “Stay, Cover, and Hold” procedure. If the earthquake is prolonged or intense, evacuate the area immediately.
If you are indoors during an earthquake, move a short distance to a safe spot and immediately drop to the ground, cover your head and neck with your arms, and hold on to something stable. Stay indoors until the shaking stops and you are certain it is safe to exit.
If you are outdoors when an earthquake strikes, move away from buildings, trees, streetlights, and power lines. Then, drop to the ground, cover your head and neck, and hold on.
After an earthquake, tune in to your local radio stations for important updates and advice from emergency management officials. Be prepared for aftershocks.
If you are in a damaged building, evacuate carefully by using the stairs instead of the elevator. Find a safe, open area outside.
