EARTHQUAKES

In the event of an earthquake:

  • DROP to the floor.
  • TAKE COVER under a solid piece of furniture or next to an interior wall. Cover your head and neck with your arms.
  • HOLD ON to a sturdy piece of furniture and be prepared to move with it. Stay where you are until the shaking stops.
  • Be prepared for after shocks, which often follow an earthquake.
