Safety Guidelines (18 tips)
During Shaking
Drop, Cover, and Hold On — get under a sturdy desk or table, cover your head and neck, and hold on until shaking stopsStay away from windows, mirrors, and heavy furniture that could fall or shatter
If in bed, stay there and cover your head with a pillow unless you are under something heavy that could fall
If outdoors, move to an open area away from buildings, power lines, trees, and street signs
If in a vehicle, pull over to a safe spot away from bridges, overpasses, and power lines — stay inside until shaking stops
Do not run outside during shaking — falling debris causes most injuries near building exits
Right After Shaking
Check yourself and others for injuries before moving — apply first aid if trainedBe prepared for aftershocks — they can occur minutes, hours, or even days later and can be nearly as strong
If you smell gas , open windows and shut off the main gas valve. Leave the building and report it
Check for electrical damage — sparks, broken wires, burning smell. Turn off power at the breaker if unsafe
Do not use elevators — take the stairs and be alert for cracked steps or debris
Turn on a battery-powered radio or check official channels for updates and advisories
Be Prepared Before the Next One
Store at least one gallon of water per person per day for a minimum of three days (two weeks for high-risk zones)
Bolt tall furniture, water heaters, and bookshelves to wall studs — falling objects cause most earthquake injuries
Practice Drop, Cover, and Hold On with your family — muscle memory saves seconds when it matters
Identify safe spots in every room — under sturdy tables, against interior walls away from windows
Keep sturdy shoes and a flashlight next to your bed for nighttime earthquakes
Learn to shut off gas, water, and electricity at the main valves — keep tools nearby
