Earthquake
When an earthquake happens – keep calm, DO NOT run or panic, REMAIN WHERE YOU ARE and take shelter. If you are indoors, stay there, take immediate shelter under your desk, a table, in public lobbies or exit stairwells. Stay away from windows, outside doors, large bookshelves or fixtures. If you are outdoors, remain there, but keep away from buildings, as glass or other objects could loosen and fall. Do not attempt to enter any building until advised it is safe to do so. Be prepared for AFTER SHOCKS.
After the Earthquake use extreme caution in entering buildings or work areas; DON’T use lighted matches, lanterns or torches until you are advised there are no gas leaks, etc.
- Stay away from damaged areas.
- If there is a fire or power failure, refer to that section in this manual.
- Inspect your offices for damage and provide an itemized report to the Management Office.
- Advise local utilities of power outages or potential gas leaks.
