In the event of an earthquake:
- Stay calm and stay put.
- IF INDOORS: Stay
indoors unless you are in immediate personal danger. Take cover under a desk
or table, or brace yourself in a doorway. Stay away from windows. Protect
yourself from objects that can fall on you or items that might shatter.
- IF OUTDOORS: Move
to an open area away from overhead hazards, like power lines or trees. Stay
away from buildings, as bricks, glass or other objects might fall on you.
Stay away from parking lots. Cars might be thrown into you by the force of
the earthquake.
- AFTER AN
EARTHQUAKE: If significant damage is evident, evacuate the building and go
to the designated assembly area for your hall. Wear sturdy shoes to protect
your feet from broken glass. Do not use the telephone unless it is an
emergency. Listen to radio for news. Do not use the elevators due to
possible damage or aftershocks. In the assembly area, check in with the Hall
Coordinator (or wait until your name is called) and wait quietly for further
instructions. There may be one or more aftershocks. Be prepared for them.
