Earthquake Readiness presented by The Office of Mission Assurance

Earthquake Basics An earthquake is a sudden movement of the earth, caused by the abrupt release of strain in the Earth’s crust that has accumulated over a long time. Earthquakes strike without warning. Effects on buildings will vary from building to building. Fire alarm or sprinkler systems may be activated. Elevators and stairways may be damaged. Earthquakes are most likely to strike in high-seismic areas.

Before an Earthquake Step 1: Secure Your Space. Arrange your work area for safety. Anchor bookcases, large file cabinets, and artwork. Store heavy objects on low shelves. Step 2: Make a Plan for Yourself and Your Family. You probably won’t be together, so make sure to have a communication plan. Step 3: Organize Disaster Supplies. First aid kit, tools & supplies, food, medications, etc. Step 4: Minimize Financial Hardship. Make copies of important documents and contacts, keep a record of personal property, and consider keeping a small emergency fund.

During an Earthquake Step 5: Drop, Cover, and Hold On! Indoors: Find an inside corner of the room away from windows and objects. Outdoors: Move away from buildings, streetlights, and utility wires. Moving vehicle: Stop as soon and safely as possible. Stay in the vehicle.

During an Earthquake DROP where you are, onto your hands and knees. This position protects you from being knocked down and also allows you to stay low and crawl to shelter if nearby. COVER your head and neck with one arm and hand. If a sturdy table or desk is nearby, crawl underneath it for shelter. If no shelter is nearby, crawl next to an interior wall (away from windows). Stay on your knees; bend over to protect vital organs. HOLD ON until shaking stops. No shelter: hold onto your head and neck with both arms and hands. Under shelter: hold on with one hand; be ready to move with your shelter if it shifts.

After an Earthquake Step 6: Improve Safety. After the shaking has stopped, look around for additional hazards. Check for injuries. Expect aftershocks. If it’s safe, leave the building and go to a safe place. Drop, Cover, and Hold On during aftershocks. Step 7: Reconnect and Restore. After assessing life safety issues, begin recovery actions to return to operating conditions.
