3. Hold On to your shelter (if under furniture) and be ready to move with it during the shaking.

If indoors:

If outdoors:

1. Move to a clear area away from buildings, streetlights, and utility wires.

2. Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops.

If in a moving vehicle:

After an Earthquake:

1. Check yourself and others for injuries.

2. Follow the news and safety instructions via your radio, smartphone, or other devices.

3. Be prepared for aftershocks, which can occur minutes, days, or even weeks after the main quake.

4. Avoid damaged areas unless your assistance has been specifically requested by police, fire, or relief organizations.
