Guidelines for the period following a tsunami: 
 Stay away from flooded and damaged areas until officials say it is safe to return. 
 Stay away from debris in the water; it may pose a safety hazard to boats and people. 
 
Earthquakes 
 
Definition: Earthquakes are sudden slippages or movements in a portion of the 
earth's crust accompanied by a series of vibrations. Aftershocks of similar or lesser 
intensity can follow the main quake. Earthquakes can occur at any time of the year. 
An earthquake is generally considered to be the most destructive and frightening 
of all 
forces of nature 
protective Measures 
 Before a Earthquake: 
• 
Repair defective electrical wiring, leaky gas cylinders, and 
inflexible utility 
connections. 
• 
Place large or heavy objects on lower shelves. Fasten 
shelves, mirrors, and 
large picture frames to walls. 
• 
Store bottled foods, glass, china clay, and other breakables 
on low shelves or 
in cabinets that fasten shut. 
• 
Anchor overhead lighting fixtures. 
• 
Be sure the residence is firmly anchored to its foundation. 
• 
Install flexible pipe fittings to avoid gas or water leaks. Flexible 
fittings are

During an Earthquake: 
 minimize your movements during an earthquake to a few steps to a nearby 
62 
 
 
 
safe place. Stay indoors until the shaking has stopped and you are sure exiting 
is safe. 
 
If you are indoor: 
• 
Take cover under a sturdy desk, table, or bench or against an inside wall, 
and hold on. If there isn’t a table or desk near 
you, cover your face and head with 
your arms and crouch in an inside corner of the building. 
• 
Stay away from glass, windows, outside doors and walls, 
and anything 
that could fall, such as lighting fixtures or furniture. 
• 
Stay in bed - if you are there when the earthquake strikes - hold on and protect 
your head with a pillow, unless you are under a heavy light fixture that could fall. 
In that case, move to the nearest safe place. 
• Use a doorway for shelter only if it is in close proximity to 
you and if you 
know it is a strongly supported, load bearing doorway. 
• 
Stay inside until shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Most injuries during 
earthquakes occur when people are hit by falling objects when entering into or 
exiting from buildings. 
• Be aware that the electricity may go out or the sprinkler systems or fire alarms 
may turn on. 
• DO NOT use elevators. 
If you are Outdoors: 
 
• Move away from buildings, streetlights, and utility wires. 
 
If you are in a moving vehicle: 
 
• Stop as quickly as safety permits and stay in the 
63 
 
 
 
vehicle. Avoid stopping near or under buildings, trees, 
overpasses, and utility wires. 
• Proceed cautiously once the earthquake has stopped, 
watching for road and bridge damage. 
 
If you are trapped under debris: 
 
• Do not light a match. Do not move about or kick up dust. 
• Cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. 
• Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can locate you. Use
