Earthquake
How to prepare
Keep and maintain a disaster supply kit in an easy-to-access location
Pre identify safe places in each room of your home, workplace and/or school. A safe place could be under a piece of furniture or against an interior wall away from windows, bookcases or tall furniture that could fall on you
Practice "
Drop, Cover, and Hold On!
" in each safe place
Keep a flashlight and sturdy shoes by each person’s bed
Bolt and brace water heaters and gas appliances to wall studs
Bolt bookcases, china cabinets and other tall furniture to wall studs
Hang heavy items, such as pictures and mirrors, away from beds, couches and anywhere people sleep or sit
Learn how to shut off the gas valves in your home and keep a wrench handy for that purpose
What to do during an earthquake
If you are inside when the shaking starts…
Drop, Cover, and Hold on!
Move as little as possible
If you are in bed, stay there, curl up and hold on. Protect your head with a pillow
Stay away from windows to avoid being injured by shattered glass
Stay indoors until the shaking stops and you are sure it is safe to exit. If you must leave the building after the shaking stops, never use an elevator, always use the stairs
If you are outside when the shaking starts…
Find a clear spot, away from buildings, power lines, trees and streetlights, and drop to the ground. Stay there until the shaking stops
If you are in a vehicle, pull over to a clear location and stop. Avoid bridges, overpasses and power lines if possible. Stay inside with your seat belt fastened until the shaking stops. Then, drive carefully, avoiding bridges and ramps that may have been damaged
If a power line falls on your vehicle, do not get out. Call 911 and wait for assistance
If you are in an area near unstable slopes be alert for falling rocks and other debris
What to do after an earthquake
Check yourself for injuries and get first aid, if necessary, before helping injured or trapped persons
After an earthquake, the disaster may continue. Expect and prepare for potential aftershocks, landslides, hazardous materials releases, wide spread utility outages, and other potential threats
Each time you feel an aftershock
Drop, Cover, and Hold On!
Aftershocks frequently occur minutes, days, weeks and even months following an earthquake
Put on long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, sturdy shoes and work gloves to protect against injury from broken objects
Look quickly for damage in and around your home and get everyone out if your home is unsafe
Listen to a portable, battery operated or hand-crank radio for updated emergency information and instructions
Check the telephones in your home or workplace to see if you can get a dial tone. Make only brief calls to report life-threatening emergencies
Look for and extinguish small fires. Fire is the most common hazard after an earthquake
Clean up spilled medication, bleach, gasoline or other flammable liquids immediately
Open closet and cabinet doors carefully as contents may have shifted
Help people who require special assistance such as infants, children and the elderly or disabled
Watch out for fallen power lines or broken gas lines and stay out of damaged areas
Keep animals under your direct control
Stay out of damaged buildings
If you were away from home, return only when authorities say it is safe to do so. Use extreme caution and examine walls, floors, doors, staircases and windows to check for damage
Be careful when driving after an earthquake and anticipate traffic light outages
