About
This 2-page checklist uses hazard and protective actions icons along with bulleted lists to explain what to do before, during, and after an earthquake. It describes practicing "Drop, Cover, and Hold On" to protect yourself from falling debris. It advises securing items in your home that might fall and gathering emergency supplies like food, water, medicine, flashlights, and sturdy shoes. During an earthquake or aftershock, it suggests staying put until shaking stops. Afterward, check for dangers like broken glass or gas leaks before leaving your home if needed. Staying informed through radios or phones is also recommended for safety updates.
