If you are in a tall building, the most important thing is to "seek shelter," not to run.
The shaking can cause you to lose your balance and fall or fall down the stairs.
- Find shelter under a sturdy table or near a sturdy wall.
- Avoid large objects such as file cabinets, mirrors, or windows to prevent hazards falling.
- If there is no table or shelter available, crouch against a wall and use your arms to protect your head.
- After the shaking stops or begins to subside,
- Investigate escape routes and evacuate the building quickly.
- Check for nearby people who need help. If you see an injured person, notify them to help evacuate.
- Never use the elevator.
- Stay away from tall buildings, large trees, or utility poles.
- Stop driving immediately and stay in your vehicle until the shaking stops.
