EARTHQUAKE !!!
Don't panic.... You must know what to do DURING an earthquake....
Earthquakes can last just a few seconds or as long as several minutes, and knowing how to react during the quake can help prevent injuries:
• Immediately seek a safe location such as in a doorway (if you live in an old, adobe house that is not reinforced), beneath a table or desk or along an interior wall away from windows or hazardous objects.
• Cover the back of your head and your eyes to minimize injury from flying debris.
• Do not take elevators during an earthquake.
• If cooking, turn off heating elements immediately.
• If outdoors, stay in open areas away from buildings, power lines, trees and other potential hazards.
• If driving, stop quickly but safely and stay in the vehicle. Do not stop near power lines, bridges, overpasses or other potentially dangerous locations.
• Stay calm and brace yourself to keep your balance, sitting if possible.
