In an earthquake and you are indoors, stay there.
- Take cover under a sturdy piece of furniture or counter, or brace yourself against an inside wall or door jam. Protect your head and neck.
- Stay away from windows, skylights and items that could fall. Do not use the elevators.
- After the shaking stops, relocate towards the core of the building away from glass and furniture.
- Use stairways to leave the building if it is determined that a building evacuation is necessary.
If outdoors, move into the open away from buildings, street lights, and utility wires.
