TOPIC: What to do during an earthquaque?

OBJECTIVE: To what can I do during an earthquaque.

 If an earthquake happens, protect yourself right away.

1. If you are in a car, pull over and stop. Set your parking brake.
2. If you are in bed, turn face down and cover your head and neck with a pillow.
3. If you are outdoors, stay outdoors away from buildings.
4. Do not get in a doorway.
5. Do not run outside.

From this came the belief that a doorway is the safest place to be during an earthquake. In modern houses and buildings, doorways are no safer, and they do not protect you from flying or falling objects. Get under a table instead. Don't run outside.

DROP to the ground; take COVER by getting under a sturdy table or other piece of furniture; and HOLD ON until the shaking stops. ... Stay away from glass, windows, outside doors and walls, and anything that could fall, such as lighting fixtures or furniture. Stay in bed if you are there when the earthquake strikes.

• DO NOT turn on the gas again if you turned it off; let the gas company do it.
• DO NOT use matches, lighters, camp stoves or barbecues, electrical equipment, appliances UNTIL you are sure there are no gas leaks. ...
• DO NOT use your telephone, EXCEPT for a medical or fire emergency.
