Answer:

.

Having an action plan that you have thought about in advance of an earthquake enhances the probability you will make the best decision to prevent injuries. Follow these recommendations during an earthquake:

Indoors

“Drop, Cover, Hold” under a sturdy table.

Stay away from windows, objects that could fall.

Kitchen: Move away from refrigerator, stove, and overhead cabinets.

Outdoors

Move to a clear area away from trees, signs, building, and electrical wires

Downtown:

Move away from building fronts

Protect yourself against falling bricks, glass and other debris

Crowded Store

Do NOT rush from the exits

Move away from displace shelves

"Drop, Cover and Hold"

Driving

Slowly pull over to the side of the road and stop

Avoid overpasses, power lines. Stay in the car until the shaking stops

Wheelchair

Stay in the wheelchair.

Move to a safe cover, lock your wheels.

Protect your head with your arms (this is the only time you might use a doorway).

Theater or stadium:

If possible, get under the seat. If not, stay in your seat.

“Cover” your head with your arms.

Do not attempt to leave until the shaking stops.
