During an earthquake, actual or caused by explosion, etc., remain calm and quickly follow the steps outlined below:

• IF INDOORS, seek refuge in a doorway or under a desk or table.  Stay away from glass windows, shelves and heavy equipment if possible.
• IF OUTDOORS move quickly away from buildings, utility poles, and other structures.  CAUTION:  Always avoid power or utility lines as they may be energized.
• If in an automobile, stop in the safest place available, preferably away from power lines and trees.  Stop as quickly as safety permits, but stay in your vehicle for the shelter it offers.
• After the initial shock, remain alert for after-shocks or subsequent explosions.  Evaluate the situation and if emergency help is necessary, call Public Safety at 455-0125 or 289-2090.
