Check for gas leaks, beginning with the water heater. If you smell gas or suspect a leak, turn off the main gas valve, open the windows, and get everyone outside quickly. Shut off any other damaged utilities. Clean up spilled medicine, bleach, gasoline and other flammable liquids immediately. During an earthquake, stay out of the kitchen, garage, and other rooms with shelves, cabinets, and objects that may fall.
Hallways are often the least cluttered and are therefore the safest places to seek shelter.
