Earthquake Identifying potential hazards ahead of time and advance

planning can reduce the dangers of serious injury or loss of life from an earthquake.

Repairing deep plaster cracks in ceilings and foundations, anchoring overhead lighting fixtures to the ceiling, and following local seismic building standards, will help reduce the impact of earthquakes.

Before an Earthquake

Install latches on cupboard doors to prevent them from opening during a quake.Use non-skid shelf liners for kitchen and bathroom cupboards, medicine cabinets and closet shelves.Store heavy items or glassware in lower cabinets so they do not become dangerous projectiles.Secure large appliances such as refrigerators, water heaters, air conditioners and other bulky items with straps, bolts and other stabilizing methods.Do not put heavy artwork, mirrors or shelves over beds.Firmly secure bookcases, artwork, mounted televisions and other objects to withstand as much shaking as possible.

Before an Earthquake

Prepare an earthquake emergency kit with non-perishable food, bottled water, copies of important documents (birth certificates, prescriptions, insurance papers, etc.), flashlights, first aid materials, blankets, spare glasses and other essential items and store it where it will be easily accessible in case of a quake.Keep cell phones charged and replace emergency kit supplies as necessary to keep them usable.Plan alternative commuting routes in case an earthquake damages roads.

INDOORS

Use a doorway for shelter only if it is in close proximity to you and if you know it is a strongly supported.

Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries occur when people inside buildings attempt to move to a different location inside the building or try to leave.

Be aware that the electricity may go out or the sprinkler systems or fire alarms may turn on.

DO NOT use the elevators!!!

If outdoorsDuring an Earthquake

Most earthquake-related casualties result from collapsing walls, flying glass, and falling objects.

Stay there (outside) and do not look for a building Stay away from building, street light, poles or anything that

could fall Go to open field if possible

If in a moving vehicleStop 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 debrisDo not light a match.Do not move about or kick up dust.Cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing.Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can locate you. Use a whistle if one is available. Shout only as a last resort. Shouting can cause you to inhale dangerous amounts of dust.

After an Earthquake

Be prepared for aftershocks, which may be stronger than the initial jolt.Tend injuries immediately and summon emergency assistance if necessary.Check for structural damage but do not enter a building that shows damage or has visible cracks in the walls or foundation.Wear shoes at all times to avoid stepping on broken glass.Turn off gas, electricity, and water if damage is suspected or if advised to do so by authorities.Be cautious opening cabinets, cupboards and closets in case items may be poised to fall.Keep phone lines clear for emergency use.Be patient: It may take hours or days to restore all services depending on the severity of the quake.

Additional disasters to prepare

Earthquakes can trigger additional emergencies and individuals should also be prepared to contend with these related natural hazards:Tsunamis near coastal areasLandslides or mudslides in mountainous regionsFires if gas lines are ruptured or power lines spark blazesFlooding if dams break or rivers are divertedThese hazards will vary based on where the earthquake hits and how strong it is, but thorough safety precautions will address these additional disasters if necessary.
