Look for an open space. A field, a yard, in the middle of the street. You want to get away from powerlines, houses, and buildings as much as you can so they won't fall or hit you. Then, sit down so you won't be knocked down. Since this is your route start now to look for spots that I just suggested so if this happens you know where to go. Have a plan, keep your head if it does happen and you will do just fine.
- Practise your earthquake drill: DROP, COVER and HOLD.
- Identify safe places close to you at home or school.
- A safe place is under a strong table (remember to hold onto the legs), or next to an interior wall. Take no more than a few steps to avoid injury.
- Talk with your family about an emergency plan and survival items.
- If you are inside a building, take no more than a few steps, DROP, COVER AND HOLD.
- If you are outside, move no more than a few steps, DROP, COVER AND HOLD.
- If you are in the car you should ask the driver to pull over and stop.
- If you are at the beach or near the coast, DROP, COVER and HOLD, then move to higher ground immediately in case a tsunami follows the quake.
- Remember there may be some aftershocks.
- Listen to and follow all instructions from adults or the radio.
- If you are in a damaged building, try to get outside and find a safe, open place.
- Help others who may need it, if you can do so safely.
- Watch out for possible dangers or hazards.
- Remember your prepared emergency plan and follow it, if it is safe to do.
