What are the safety measures during earthquake?

1. Stay indoors and avoid going outside.
2. If you’re inside, move to an interior room or hallway away from windows, bookcases, and furniture that could topple over.
3. Drop down to the ground and take cover under a sturdy table or desk until the shaking stops.
4. Do not use matches, candles, or any other open flame during or after an earthquake.
5. Check for injuries, provide first aid and call for help if necessary.
6. Be prepared for aftershocks—sizable earthquakes that sometimes follow the initial quake.
7. Wear protective clothing and shoes when inspecting your property for damage.
8. Be aware of possible tsunamis and landslides in coastal areas.
9. Wear your seatbelt if you are driving.
10. Check gas, electrical, and water lines for damage before using them.
