How To Stay Safe During An Earthquake
During the next quake you need to remember to drop, cover, and hold on.
Drop: Wherever you are, drop onto your hands and knees. This position helps keep you from being knocked down and allows you to crawl to shelter.
Cover: With one arm and hand, cover your head and neck. If there is a nearby desk or table, crawl under it for shelter. If there’s no shelter, crawl next to an interior wall away from windows.
Hold On: If you’re under shelter, hold onto it with one hand. If there’s no shelter, hold on to your head and neck with both arms and hands.
Do you know what to do if the quake strikes while you're at work? The Beach? The bus or Bart? Check out some of my favorite safety video and links.
Here is an example of what NOT to do. Notice not one person is dropping, covering or holding on!
