See less1. Don’t panic. Remain calm and alert.
2. Don’t stand in a doorway as it does not provide protection from falling objects and it can easily become blocked.

4. Don’t use matches, lighters, candles, or any open flame.
5. Don’t use electrical appliances, and don’t turn on any lights, switches, or plugs.
