How to protect yourself during an earthquake in the United States?
- Drop, cover and hold on: This is the best way to protect yourself from falling objects and debris. If you are inside a building, immediately drop to the ground, get under a sturdy table or desk, and cover your head and neck with your arms. If you cannot find these objects, place yourself under an interior wall or next to a low piece of furniture. Stay away from windows, doors and exterior walls.
- Stay away from windows and doors: Windows and doors can shatter during an earthquake, sending glass and other debris flying. If you are near a window or door, move away from it as quickly as possible.
- If you are outside, move to an open area, away from buildings, trees, and power lines: Stay away from anything that might fall on you or injure you.
- If you are in a car, pull over to the side of the road and stop: Stay in your car until the shaking stops. Do not get out of your car unless it is safe to do so.
- If you are in a crowded place, such as a shopping center or stadium, stay calm and follow the instructions of officers: Do not try to run or push your way through the crowd.
- After the earthquake, check for injuries and help those in need: Do not use elevators or stoves until you are sure they are safe. If you smell gas, leave the area immediately and call 911.
