EARTHQUAKE
SAFETY
If you live
if an earthquake prone zone, you need to prepare for an earthquake. Large
objects may fall, so you need to attach them to the walls.
Always
listen to the radio and television for the latest information and instructions
for your area.
BEFORE AN
EARTHQUAKE:
- Have a disaster plan.
- Choose a safe place in every room. It’s best to get under a table or a desk where nothing can fall on you.
- Attach tall furniture to the wall.
- Electricity and running water can also stop during an earthquake. Prepare by keeping enough food and water in your house.
- Prepare a disaster kit for your home and car. Include a first aid kit, canned food and a can opener, bottled water, battery-operated radio, and flashlight.
DURING AN
EARTHQUAKE:
- Stay indoors until the shaking stops.
- Stay away from windows.
- If you’re in bed, hold on and stay there, protecting your head with a pillow.
- If you’re outdoors, find a place away from buildings, trees and power lines. Then, drop to the ground.
- If you’re in a car, slow down and drive to a safe place. Stay in the car until the shaking stops.
