DROP, COVER, AND HOLD ON!

 

During earthquakes:

• • Drop to the floor,
  • Take cover under a sturdy desk or table and hold on to it firmly. Be prepared to move with it until the shaking stops.
  • Stay away from the exterior walls of a building, which is the most dangerous place to be. Windows, facades, and architectural details are often the first parts of the building to collapse.
  • Stay inside if you are inside and outside if you are outside.

 

Once the shaking has stopped:

• • Evacuate the building by the stairways.
  • Do not use the elevators even if they appear to be working.
  • Go to the designated assembly area and wait for additional instructions.
