What to do during an earthquake
The American Red Cross says the following:
- When shaking starts, DROP, COVER, and HOLD ON to protect yourself
- If you are in bed, STAY there and COVER your head and neck with a pillow.
- If you are outdoors, drop, then crawl towards open space if you can. Stay away from buildings, power lines, and trees.
- If you are driving, stop and stay in your vehicle. Avoid stopping near buildings, trees, overpasses, and utility wires. Proceed cautiously once the earthquake has stopped. Avoid bridges or ramps.
- If you are in a wheelchair or use a walker, lock your wheels, and remain seated until the shaking stops. If you are unable to drop, brace yourself and protect your head and neck. Protect your head and neck with your arms, a pillow, a book, or whatever is available
