What to do DURING a seismic "rock concert"
1. Drop 2. Cover (make sure you're completely under a table) 3. Hold on
If you are..
Inside a building: move no more than a few steps, drop, cover and hold. Stay indoors till the shaking stops and you are sure it is safe to exit.
At the beach or near the coast: drop, cover and hold then move to higher ground immediately in case a tsunami follows the quake.
If you are driving: pull over to a clear location, stop and stay there with your seatbelt fastened until the shaking stops. Once shaking stops, proceed with caution and avoid bridges or ramps that might have been damaged.
If you are in a mountainous area or near unstable slopes or cliffs: be alert for falling debris or landslides.
In an elevator: drop, cover and hold. When the shaking stops, try and get out at the nearest floor if you can safely do so.
Outdoors when the shaking starts: move no more than a few steps away from buildings, trees, streetlights, and power lines, then Drop, Cover and Hold.
Emergency items needed
Torch, radio, waterproof clothing, strong outdoor shoes, first aid kits, essential medicines, blankets, sleeping bags, pet supplies, toilet paper, large rubbish bags, dust masks
Canned food, water for drinking (3 L per person, per day), water for washing and cooking, gas bbq, can opener, pet food :D
Important docs (eg., ID, passports)
