    Geologic Event: Earthquake

    Harmful Effects: Destruction of buildings, casualties, fatalities

    What to do before: Make sure to have a fire extinguisher, first-aid kid, flashlights, battery and radio.
    Make an evacuation plan. Secure heavy objects and furniture that are prone to fall.

    What to do during: Stay calm. Do not use elevators. Stay away from windows and glasses. Get a sturdy
    item that will cover your head and neck. Roll under a table if there is any available. If you are outside,
    stay away from power lines.

    What to do after: Check yourself and others for injuries. Stay out of damaged buildings. Be careful
    around broken glass. Check water, gas and electric power damage. Keep calm and secure yourself. Use
    gadgets for emergencies only. Wait for news and for help.

    Geologic Event: Landslide

    Harmful Effects: Loss of life, infrastructural disaster, land degradation, and natural resource depletion

    What to do before: Have ground assessment around your property, have ground covers on slopes, and
    build walls. Learn about evacuation plans and emergency plans in your area.

    What to do during: Stay calm, alert, and awake. Consider evacuating if it is safe to do so if you are in a
    region prone to landslides. Keep in mind that driving during a severe storm might be dangerous. If you
    must stay at home, consider moving to a second storey. Moving out of a landslide's or debris flow's path
    saves lives.

    What to do after: Keep your distance from the sliding area. There's a chance that more slides will
    appear. For the most up-to-date emergency information, check in to local radio or television channels.

    Geologic Event: Tsunami

    Harmful Effects: Drowning, Death, Destruction of Property and natural resources.

    What to do before: Check to see if your house, school, office, or other commonly visited destinations are
    in a tsunami-prone area. Know the earthquake and tsunami plans for each place in high-risk zones.
    Know the evacuation and alerting system in your community. Have an emergency first-aid kit.

    What to do during: If you hear a tsunami warning or see signs of a tsunami, get out as soon as possible.
    When officials are certain that a tsunami condition exists and there is very little time to evacuate, a
    tsunami notice is given. Remain alert and awake.
    What to do after: Be ready for aftershocks. Do not enter your home if you believe it is dangerous. If
    you're unsure, hire a professional to clear your home for re-entry. Stay away from any structure with
    water in the vicinity. The force of a tsunami can lead floors to break and walls to fall.

    Geologic Event: Volcanic Eruption

    Harmful Effects: Health concerns, accidents, fatalities, and destruction of property.

    What to do before: If you reside or are staying inside the affected area's perimeter, leave immediately.
    Keep an eye on national news as well as local stations in your community. In the event of a power
    outage, keep your mobile devices and power banks charged. Know what to do in the event of a crisis
    and have an emergency kit ready.

    What to do during: Defend yourself from pulmo-respiratory injuries and infections by using an N95 dust
    mask. Wear appropriate clothing and eyewear or goggles to guard your skin and eyes. If you're outside,
    take cover as soon as possible in case of falling rock or ash. To avoid ash poisoning, seal food and water
    containers.

    What to do after: Do not leave your home or indoor facilities until the local authority has advised you
    that it is safe to do so. Only relocate to safer areas if you are informed. Wear eye and ear protection. To
    avoid rust, clean your gutters and roof with water after removing the ash. Wait for any additional news
    from local governments or headline news on the volcanic eruption.
