Drop, Cover, and Hold On !
Whether you are in your home, at work, in school, or in
any other type of building, it is important to know how to
protect yourself during an earthquake and its
aftershocks.
Teach yourself and your family these procedures and
practice them so that when an earthquake strikes you
will be able to react automatically.
Falling objects cause most earthquake-related injuries!
When you begin to feel an earthquake, DROP to the floor
and get under a sturdy piece of furniture like a desk or
table. Stay away from windows, bookcases, pictures
and mirrors, hanging plants, and other heavy objects
that may fall. Be aware of falling materials such as
plaster, ceiling tiles, and bricks that may come loose
during the quake. Stay under COVER until the shaking
stops. HOLD ON to the desk or table that you’re under
and if it moves, move with it.
If you are not near a table or desk, move against an
interior wall, and protect your head with your arms. Do
not go into a doorway, the shaking can cause the door to
swing forcibly shut.
Below I have provided some informative preparedness
flyers you can use to help spread the word. Feel free to
download them and distribute them in your community.
We really can make a difference.
