If you are indoors, drop to the ground, take cover under a sturdy piece of furniture, and hold on until the shaking stops. If you are outside, move to an open area away from buildings, trees, and utility wires. After the shaking stops, be prepared for potential aftershocks.

Does a small earthquake mean a bigger one is coming?
Not necessarily. A small earthquake does not always indicate that a larger earthquake is imminent. Earthquakes are unpredictable, and it is not possible to accurately forecast when or where a larger earthquake will occur based on smaller ones.
How do people know that an earthquake is coming?
People can know that an earthquake is coming by monitoring changes in seismic activity, such as increased shaking or foreshocks, using seismometers. There are also early warning systems in some regions that can alert people of an impending earthquake seconds to minutes before it hits. Additionally, animals may exhibit unusual behavior before an earthquake, providing a natural warning sign.
Does a small earthquake mean that a larer earthquake is coming?
Not necessarily. Small earthquakes, also known as foreshocks, can occur independently and do not always indicate that a larger earthquake will follow. Earthquakes are complex natural events, and while larger quakes can sometimes be preceded by smaller ones, there is no definitive way to predict when or if a larger earthquake will occur.
