Earthquake

In the event of an earthquake:

Remain Calm. DO NOT leave the building, you are safer inside until the initial tremors subside.
DO NOT use the elevators. If you are in an elevator, exit as soon as possible.
Take cover under a desk or other sturdy object or against the wall in the core of the building and protect your head.
Move away from the building exterior. Stay away from the windows, bookcases, filing cabinets and any objects that may fall or shatter.
DO NOT take cover in emergency stairwells.

After the earthquake:

Be prepared for aftershocks.
Cooperate with the public safety officials who may be on the scene.
CHECK for injured individuals and assist when you are able. Never move a seriously injured person unless they are in immediate danger.
ASSESS the damage to property and check for fires. CHECK for electrical shorts and gas and water leaks.

If you suspect a gas leak, DO NOT use matches, cigarette lighters or turn on electrical switches or appliances.
If you smell gas, contact the Chief Engineer or Lobby desk immediately.
Open doors carefully and beware of falling objects.
Wear shoes for protection from debris and broken glass.
Stay away from windows/glassed areas.
Replace telephone receivers; this may be useful if you have phone service.
Listen to the radio for emergency reports.
