What to Do in an Earthquake

 

Prepare BEFORE an earthquake so you are ready!
Review our Be Red Cross Ready - Earthquake Ready Checklist
 

If you are inside when the shaking starts...  

 

****   Drop, Cover, and Hold On.   ****


Under the table

   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, use stairs rather than an elevator in case there are aftershocks, power outages or other damage.
    * 
Be aware that fire alarms and sprinkler systems frequently go off in buildings during an earthquake, even if there is no fire.


If you are outside when the shaking starts...

****   Find a Clear Spot and Drop to the Ground.   ****

Stay there until the shaking stops
(Stay away from buildings, power lines, trees, streetlights).
 
    *
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 seatbelt 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. Wait for assistance.
    *
If you are in a mountainous area or near unstable slopes or cliffs, be alert for falling rocks and other debris. Landslides are often triggered by earthquakes.
