If
you are indoors
|
 |
STAY
THERE and move only a few steps to the closest previously identified safe
place in the room. DROP, COVER, and HOLD ON.
Get
under a table and hang on to it. Protect your eyes and head. Get away from
windows, heavy furniture or appliances that might fall on you. Get out
of the kitchen, which is a very dangerous place. DO NOT run downstairs
or rush outside while the building is shaking.

If
you are outside
|
|
Get
into the OPEN, away from buildings, power lines, trees, and anything else
that might fall on you. If you are in the city, seek shelter under archways
or doorways but do not enter the building. DO NOT try to walk through narrow
roads or 'gullies'.

If
you are driving or in a vehicle
|
|
STOP
SLOWLY. Move your car as far out of traffic (and buildings) as possible.
DO NOT stop on or under a bridge, trees, light posts, power lines, or signs.
STAY INSIDE your car until the shaking stops. Should you resume driving,
watch for cracks in the roads, fallen buildings, stones or trees etc.
