    During Earthquake

    No matter where you are, remember


    the three steps

    • DROP down onto your hands and


    knees

    • COVER your head and neck

    • HOLD ON to your shelter


    During Earthquake

    Try to Utilize the Triangle of Life


    During Earthquake

    • Shaking can be so strong


    that you will not be able to
    move far without falling down

    • Do not try to leave the


    building as these may
    collapse resulting in getting
    trapped

    • Windows, facades and


    architectural details are often
    the first parts of the building
    to collapse.
    After Earthquake

    • Evacuation: Evacuate the


    building at the earliest following
    the evacuation plan if it has
    been displayed
    • Expect aftershocks: Expect
    secondary shockwaves which
    can occur in the first hours,
    days, weeks, or even months
    after the quake. These can be
    less violent than the main
    quake but strong enough to do
    additional damage to weakened
    structures
    After Earthquake

    • Assemble: Gather at already


    identified safe places (open
    ground)

    • Stay away from damaged


    areas. Stay away unless you
    are requested by the police,
    fire, or relief organizations.
    Return home only when
    authorities allow
    After Earthquake

    If Trapped Under Debris

    1. Do not light a match. There may be


    gas leakages.

    2. Do not move about or kick up dust.


    Chances are you might cause more
    physical damage to yourself.

    3. Cover your mouth with a


    handkerchief or clothing.
    After Earthquake
    WHEN TRAPPED UNDER DEBRIS

    • Once you feel that the


    earthquake has stopped, tap
    on pipe or walls to make
    rescuers notice you.

    • Use a whistle if you have one


    but do not whistle on your
    own, as you might choke on
    the smoke and dust.

    • Shout only as a last resort.


    Shouting can cause you to
    inhale dangerous amounts of
    dust.
