If you feel shaking or get an earth quake alert you should immediately: DROP where you are, onto your hands and knees. This position protects you from being knocked down and reduces your chances of being hit by falling or flying objects. Then COVER your head and neck with one arm and hand. If a sturdy table or desk is nearby, crawl underneath for shelter. If no shelter is nearby, crawl next to an interior wall. Stay on your knees; bend over to protect vital organs. Finally – HOLD ON until the shaking stops. If you are under shelter: hold on to it with one hand; be ready to move with your shelter if it shifts. If you don’t have shelter: hold on to your head and neck with both arms and hands. Knowing what to do if an earthquake occurs will reduce injury and death.
