🧰 What to do

Before

  • Secure heavy furniture and water heaters to walls
  • Identify safe spots: under sturdy tables, against interior walls
  • Keep a kit: water, food, flashlight, first aid, whistle

During

  • Drop, Cover, and Hold On — don't run outside during shaking
  • In bed? Stay there, cover your head with a pillow
  • Driving? Pull over away from buildings, bridges, and wires

After

  • Expect aftershocks — Drop, Cover, Hold On each time
  • Check for gas leaks; if you smell gas, leave and shut it off
  • Near the coast after strong shaking? Move to high ground (tsunami risk)
