Hazard: Earthquake
Secure heavy furniture, hanging plants, heavy pictures or mirrors. Keep flammable or hazardous liquids
in cabinets or on lower shelves. Maintain emergency food, water and other supplies, including a
flashlight, a portable battery-operated radio, extra batteries, medicines, first aid kit and clothing.
Seek shelter under stable tables or under door frames. If outside, stay away from buildings, bridges
and electricity pylons and move to open areas. Avoid areas at risk from secondary processes, such as
landslides, rockfall and soil liquefaction.
If there is no shelter nearby, get down near an interior wall or next to low-lying furniture that won't fall
on you, and cover your head and neck with your arms and hands. Try to stay clear of windows or glass
that could shatter or objects that could fall on you.
