Actions Following an Earthquake

Following an earthquake, remain calm and prepare for aftershocks.

• If directed to evacuate, open doors carefully, watch for falling objects or exposed electrical lines, and be prepared for damaged stairways.
• Do not use the elevators.
• When safe, public safety officials, security or other personnel should conduct a search of the building for anyone who might be trapped or afraid to leave. If you are capable of assisting in this effort make this know to one of the public safety officials.
• If directed to evacuate, report to the evacuation assembly area until the building is declared safe.
