what do you do?
What you have to do when a earthquake is coming is, if you are inside you should get under a heavy table, desk, or bed. Stay away from windows, mirrors, or high cabinets. If you in a buliding mack sure you are out of an eleavator and stay away from stairways. If you are outside make sure you are not by high bulidings, walls, powerpoles, or any tall objects, if you are able to move to any open area go there calm down and dont worry because the chance of you getting hurt in a open area when a earthquakes is coming is very very little.
What you have to do if you are still at home after a earthquake Check for fire or fire hazards. If you smell gas, shut off the main gas valve. If there's evidence of damage to electrical wiring, shut off the power at the control box. If the phone is working, only use it in case of emergency. Likewise, avoid driving if possible to keep the streets clear for emergency vehicles. Be aware that items may fall out of cupboards or closets when the door is opened, and also that chimneys can be weakened and fall with a touch. Check for cracks and damage to the roof and foundation of your home. Listen to the radio for important information and instructions. Remember that aftershocks, sometimes large enough to cause damage in their own right, generally follow large quakes. If you leave home, leave a message telling friends and family your location.
