Things to Keep in Mind

1. Ducking under a table or desk is the quickest way to protect yourself. If you’re in a high rise building, and away from a table or desk, move against a wall. Don’t panic when the sprinkler or alarm systems turn on due to malfunction, and DO NOT use the elevators.

2. Since glass windows can shatter during an earthquake and have the potential to cause harm, it’s better to stay away from them. If you’re unable to get out of the place, stay indoors under a desk or table. Protect your head.

3. When you’re outdoors, move to a clear area. Be away from signs, trees, electrical wires, buildings and poles. If you’ve been standing on a sidewalk near buildings, get under a doorway. It will protect you from plaster, glass, bricks and other debris.

4. While driving in your car, simply pull over and stop. Avoid power lines, overpasses, billboards and other structures that may fall to cause harm . Until the tremors subside, stay inside your vehicle. Similarly, if you’re in a theatre or stadium, stay in your seat. Protect your head with your arms.

5. If you are in a public place like a mall, do no panic. Leave the premises you’re in, in an orderly manner. Rushing towards the exit can cause a stampede. Check for injuries, and receive/give first aid, if required. Most importantly, prepare yourself for aftershocks, and plan to take cover accordingly.
