Procedures to take in case of an earthquake

• If you are indoors, drop to the floor under a strong desk or table, cover your head and face with your arms, and keep waiting until help arrives.
• If suitable furniture is not available nearby, sit on the floor against an interior solid wall and cover your head and face with your arms.
• Stay away from windows, bookcases, shelves, mirrors, and false walls and ceilings.
• Refrain from using elevators.
• If possible, extinguish any open flames or sources of ignition immediately.
• If you are outdoors, get into an open area away from trees, buildings, walls, and power lines.
• If you are driving, pull over to the side, stop, and stay inside the vehicle until the shaking is over.
