__ What to do during an earthquake __

If indoors

 * Drop to the ground, take cover by getting under a sturdy table or other piece of furniture. If there isn’t a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch in an inside corner of the building.
 * Stay away from glass, windows, outside doors and walls, and anything that could fall, such as lighting fixtures or furniture.
 * Be aware that the electricity may go out or the sprinkler systems or fire alarms may turn on.
 * Stay out of elevators.

If outdoors

 * Stay there.
 * Move away from any buildings, streetlights, and utility wires.
 * Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops.

If in a moving vehicle

 * Stop as quickly as safety permits and stay in the vehicle. Avoid stopping near or under buildings, trees, overpasses, and utility wires.
 * Proceed cautiously once the earthquake has stopped. Avoid roads, bridges, or ramps that might have been damaged by the earthquake.

If trapped under debris

 * Do not light a match.
 * Do not move about or kick up dust.
 * Cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing.
